No.

The Set-update-prog feature was removed for cvs 1.11.6. It is a
potential security vulnerability to have a cvs update run commands on
your behalf that someone else has defined.

I'd suggest creating a 'make update' command or something similar that
captures the output of the 'cvs update' and post-processes it in
whatever way makes you happy.

        Good luck,
