Only if they are leaking. If the CCV freezes closed, it pressurizes the crankcase and the valve cover gaskets are a common point of failure.
If it freezes open, oil can be drawn from the sump into the intake manifold, where it can enter the cylinders.
It is unlikely to freeze in both modes simultaneously IMO.
