I certainly wouldn't do this in Ant! I would use a Perl script to read the first 8000 or so bytes of a file and look for characters outside of what you'd expect to be ASCII range.
Probably do a "cvs import" first, then go back through and see if there are any files that were added that were binary. If there are, you'd to a "cvs admin" and turn on the -kb flag.
