I've never did this myself, but AFAIK it should work.

Yes.

Surely it must be one from http://checkpasswd-pam.sf.net/ 

 SG> 3. xinitd 

Yes.

 SG> 4. a meaningful /etc/pam.d entry

Yes. 

 SG> and a little bit of luck...

 SG> But how should I best combine them so that it all works?

 SG> Any pointers would really be appreciated...  :-)

This sucks.  'cvs-nserver' binary itself is strictly experimental one
(it works, but there is no need in it in real environments), and I
believe it would be dropped at the next major release of cvs-nserver.

You have to use 'cvs-pserver' protocol frontend binary somehow: either
tell your vendor to repackage the cvs-nserver, or compile it yourself.


Good luck, and don't forget about debugging features of
checkpassword-pam.  (And the Adminitrator's Guide could help also,
available on the homepage.)
