Yes.

Get a Windows ssh client like PuTTY 
(http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/download.html) and set it up so 
that you can ssh to your cvs repository host without username/password entry (using 
RSA keys).  Obviously, the server will have to have ssh installed to accept such 
requests.

Then, in WinCVS, in the Admin/Preferences dialog, set your authentication to ssh (in 
the ssh settings, enter the fully qualified path to the plink.exe program which uses 
the settings you've configured under putty.exe).  In additional options, use -ssh.

Be aware that WinCVS 1.3b7 has some problems with ssh access in that it doesn't 
properly close the command dialogs it opens to interact with the server.  All 
operations function correctly, but one has to manually close the intermediate dialog 
before WinCVS can proceed.  Use WinCVS 1.3b6 instead.

Can WinCVS be made to use ssh to authenticate?
