I do this the following way in such cases:

1. Keep a second sandbox of the project, which is checked out with "-kk"
   (or, you can just copy your original sandbox and update it with
   "-kk": "cvs update -kk"

2. Now, when merging, specify "-kk", too:
   "cvs update -kk -j ... -j ..."

This way, the conflict markers above are not issued because you don't
   have these RCS markers.

3. test and check in the changes

4. Go to the original sandbox and issue a normal "cvs up" there.

Note that I am not sure if this will work if some changed files are
binary. Because of this, I always perform these steps on a unixoid
machine, just to be sure. There, I always keep a second sandbox just for
mergeing.

HTH,
   Spiro.
