I don't think plain cvschroot (from cvsutils) will do the trick, because
the module name also changes as part of the conversion from one server to
the other. But it should still be possible to write up a script that can
convert an existing checked-out tree from the old CVS repository to the
new git-based one, without losing your local checkouts - here's the
significant differences between the two masters:
$ cat gnulib1/CVS/{Repository,Root} gnulib1/modules/CVS/{Repository,Root}
gnulib
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/sources/gnulib
gnulib/modules
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/sources/gnulib
$ cat gnulib2/CVS/{Repository,Root} \
cat gnulib2/modules/CVS/{Repository,Root}
/srv/git/gnulib.git/HEAD
:pserver:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/gnulib.git
/srv/git/gnulib.git/HEAD/modules
:pserver:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/gnulib.git

Don't work too hard, make some time for fun as well!
