Authoritative answer: No.

For the records:

------------------------------------------------------------------------
The /etc/services symlink is just a convenience for the user.  If you
create a file in /etc instead, it won't be used by the OS.  Never.

Cygwin is using Winsock.  Winsock uses the services file in
${SYSTEMROOT}/system32/drivers/etc on NT systems and in ${windir}
on 9x systems.
------------------------------------------------------------------------

Open the *correct* services file, add the cvspserver line and you're
done.  Be careful on 9x systems to use the very same layout as in any
other line, otherwise the system might misbehave.
