That will work, yes. For checking in updates, you have to make sure that 
developers check out the correct version, of course, by specifying either

cvs [co or update] -r branch99 proj1 # to update the current release

or

cvs co proj1 # for a fresh checkout
cvs update -A proj1 # to update an existing checkout
