I haven't yet seen a CVS server for Win98, but you can use WinCVS in
CVS' local mode, i.e. access your repository locally instead of via the
client/server protocol.
Just set the "Authentication" field to "Local mounted directory" and the
"CVSROOT" field to something like ":local:c:\myrepository".
Although this method is not suggested for network access (NFS etc.),
there seems to be no problem when accessing a repository that is on a
local drive.

Best regards
Martin
