Why do you think that CVS is looking for DES encrypted passwords ? From 
glibc sources:

/* The same here, only we call the non-reentrant version.  */
char *
crypt (key, salt)
     const char *key;
     const char *salt;
{
  if (strncmp (md5_salt_prefix, salt, sizeof (md5_salt_prefix) - 1) == 0)
    return __md5_crypt (key, salt);

  /* We don't have DES encryption.  */
  __set_errno (EOPNOTSUPP);
  return NULL;
}
