No. This is a two-edged sword - it would be a useful feature to have (IIRC
PVCS has, or used to have, this feature) but it's also a major security
concern if a malicious user or virus hacks the batch file or exe on the
server.

You'll have to wrap your CVS in a batch file, and get your users in the
habit of running the batch file instead of cvs.exe.
