Well, given you are planning to use :pserver: which is not really

Correct. Read https://ccvs.cvshome.org/fom/cache/124.html

To checkout the two repositories you mentioned previously from the
host 'your-server.dom.ain', you might use these commands:
For /bin/csh or /bin/tcsh shells:
setenv CVS_RSH ssh
for bourne shells (/bin/bash, /bin/ksh, /bin/zsh, /bin/sh, et al)
CVS_RSH=ssh; export CVS_RSH
Then running a command like this:
cvs -d :ext:your-server.dom.ain:/opt/cvs checkout -d origcvs .
cvs -d :ext:your-server.dom.ain:/opt/cvs1 checkout -d cvs1 .
will yeild two directories (origcvs and cvs1) with the contents of your
two repositories... Adjust to do a checkout of the modules instead of
the entire repository as you wish.

Good choice. The :ext: transport can use eithe 'rsh' or 'ssh' and we
normally recommend 'ssh' (or 'putty' on Windows boxes). You will also
want to read about 'ssh-agent' (or Pagent on Windows boxes) to
potentially hold your credentials.

If you can ssh into the box, you can use the environment variable on
your client called CVS_RSH=ssh (or maybe CVS_RSH=putty for a windows
box)
> Is it possible to create and access multiple repositories with SSH?
Yes. That is the safer method.
> Any tutorial or step by step configuration.
google is your friend. Use it. You could search the info-cvs mailing list
with
[site:lists.gnu.org info-cvs your search terms here]
example: [site:lists.gnu.org info-cvs ssh ext howto]
http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&lr=&client=firefox&rls=org.mozilla%3Aen-US%3Aunofficial&q=site%3Agnu.org+info-cvs+ssh+ext+howto&btnG=Search
or the cvshome.org site using

Good luck,
