I was able to set CVS_RSH to ssh and it works fine. It is there to tell
it what you want to use as an alternative to plain rsh.
set CVS_RSH=ssh

You'll likely have to make a shell wrapper. Call it ssh_command (or
something):
---- snip snip ----
#!/bin/sh
ssh -p 2222 $@
---- snip snip ----
set CVS_RSH=ssh_command
