LinCVS uses cvs, no private cvs implementation.

LinCVS sets up the proxy setting by an environment variable which is not
supported by the official cvs version - you already stated that there is no
env. variable for this.
We mailed a suggestion to add this env var. for cvs, but there was no response
on the cvs mailing list. Maybe if more people mail such a request, it might
get added.

LinCVS proxy support is set up at
Config/Settings/CVS Details tab, there is a whatsthis available with details
(click on the question mark and into the proxy entries field).
