Why would you not want to? Do you have them configured differently?
(not just containing different projects).

Do you have the 2 repositories configured differently?  e.g. different
permission groups for pserver? or different scripts that you run upon
commit? If so, then having 2 different repositories on the same
machine might make sense. But from your original post, I got the
impression that you had a pretty vanilla CVS repository on each
machine. If your cvs configuration is the same, then just moving the
project directories into the cvsroot on machine one is a lot easier
than having to re-set $CVSROOT all the time.
