Hmm, yes. I also don't know how to apply a "cvs diff" patch. ;-(
unified. I always use cvs export followed by a  normal diff.

But pipe the diff through the following perl-hack.
It should work (using "patch -p1")
(IMHO only if you don't use timestamp options).

------------------------------------------------------------
#!/usr/bin/perl
  while(<>) {
      if (/^Index:\s+/) {
	  s@^\w+:\s+@@;
	  chomp;
	  $_ =  "diff -ruN x/$_ y/$_\n--- x/$_\n+++ y/$_\n";
	  <>; <>; <>; <>; <>; <>; <>;
      }
      print;	
  }
