Yes, -ko on the command line overrides the -kb you have in cvswrappers. With a server that uses UNIX EOLs (single line feed) and a client that uses the same, -ko should be equivalent to -kb, so you are getting lucky. If you tried the same import from WOE or an older Mac, or even a later checkout of your -ko'd binaries to those platforms, you should usually end up with corrupted binaries.
I suggest adding -ko for non-binary file types in your cvswrappers file. I believe the wrappers list is traversed first to last, so adding "* -k 'o'" as the last line in the file should set a default and get you the behavior you are looking for. I might be wrong on order of traversal though, so it may have to be the first line. Let me know what you discover about the order of the list traversal.
