As Arthur said, it depends on what you do with the files in the CVSNT 
repository.  Before migrating your main repositories, you should have a 
complete backup.  Also, depending on the size of your organization, you 
should plan and implement a pilot program to test your live environment 
with a sampling of your code and users.

There is additional information that CVSNT adds to the RCS files that 
CVS 1.11 might not know how to handle.  Also, if you use any of the 
CVSNT-specific features (for example, binary deltas) then CVS 1.11 won't 
be able to understand those files.  It would be safest to assume it is a 
one-way road and that you would have to restore a backup to revert back 
to the CVS 1.11.
