Turns out it is.  I've been trying it since you mentioned it and just figured 
it out.  It
works fine for awhile, and '-d' can be used to override it temporarily, as 
you'd expect,
but any repository you create this way cannot be updated without respecifying 
its CVSROOT
on the command line since the '-d' in the .cvsrc file overrides the CVS/Root 
admin file
entry.
