Don't use CVS. For one thing, CVS has lots of issues with folders (essentially, folders are not under version control, so when you delete one, it's gone from *all* versions, so you either lose history, or have lots of unnecessary empty folders). Since many Mac OS X documents are file packages, which are essentially folders (e.g. Xcode projects) you will have a hell of a time whenever you add/remove one of these. Save yourself the pain and use a more modern Source Code Management (SCM) system, like Subversion, or even better git or bazaar.
For most of these version control systems, you can find tutorials on the web. For Subversion, there's an online-version of a book available for free at http://svnbook.red-bean.com/ (you can also buy a printed version if you prefer), which details the inner workings, how to set up a server etc. etc. I've also blogged about Subversion, e.g. here: http://zathras.de/blog-installing-svnserve-on-mac-os-x.htm and in many articles linked from there. Or you can rent a server with a company like shelf cloud (http://www.versionshelf.com/) and save yourself the hassle.
Both Git and Bazaar have similar hosting solutions available (Github and LaunchPad), though I'm not sure LaunchPad allows you to get a private repository for non-open-source code.
