Note that there have been many security (and other types of) fixes since
cvs-1.11.1p1 it would be best to update. If you really don't want to
compile CVS yourself, there appear to be hp binaries available on the
website[3].

moving a repo is covered in the manual[1].
basically:
0) get everyone to do a final checkin and then release their sandboxes
(mainly prevent confusion later).
1) Back up the repository [2].
2) take the backup to the other machine.
3) restore from backup.
4) configure the machine to serve cvs.
5) update everyone's CVSROOT values.
