To get that you I think you pretty much have to
grep "a particular string" /path/to/repository/a_file,v
to make sure you find the string even if it has been removed in history.
Then drop back to looking at
cvs diff -rcurver -roldver a_file to see when it happened.
You could also write your own program that gets a list of all the files, then gets all versions and finally looks for the string but the only reason this would be preferred over a grep is if you don't have access to the CVS server or you are running on Windows (and for Windows you could use cygwin).
