Certainly. There are a number of such programs.

Here are the Open Source and/or Free Software Source or configuration
management programs:

  Aegis        - http://aegis.sourceforge.net/
  cscvs        - http://wiki.gnuarch.org/moin.cgi/cscvs
  CVS          - http://www.cvshome.org/
  CVSNT        - http://www.cvsnt.org/
  Darcs        - http://abridgegame.org/darcs/
  FTPVCS       - http://www.ftpvcs.org/
  FreeVCS      - http://www.thensle.de/index.html
  GNU Arch     - http://wiki.gnuarch.org/
  GNU CSSC     - http://cssc.sourceforge.net/index.shtml
  JRMS         - http://jrms.sourceforge.net/
  Katie        - http://www.netcraft.com.au/geoffrey/katie/
  MetaCVS      - http://users.footprints.net/~kaz/mcvs.html

  OpenCM       - http://www.opencm.org/

  Vesta        - http://www.vestasys.org/
  Xdelta       - http://sourceforge.net/projects/xdelta

I may have missed a few a quick google finds a list with descriptions
of some others of which I am not familiar:

  http://dmoz.org/Computers/Software/Configuration_Management/Tools/

It is true that cvs works well at managing sources, but it is not always
the best tool for the job if you have a complex environment.

        Enjoy!
