cvs status shows it (under Sticky options; usually -kb means binary, but
see the manual for more detailed information).

Yes. cvs admin -kb <file> changes a file to binary while cvs admin -kkv
changes it to text. But this is a simplification, actually it's matter of
selecting the proper keyword substitution mode. But those do the trick
usually, and again, see documentation and cvs -H admin for further
information.
