You can do it sanbox by sandbox, by planting a sticky
tag to the frozen revision.  Normally that should be

    cvs update -r1 file1 file2 ...

(assuming you want to freeze at the tip of the trunk,
and that your trunk revisions are of the form 1.nnn).
To unfreeze a sandbox, remove the sticky tags
    cvs update -A file1 file2 ...

Another way would be to install a commitinfo script that prevent
commits from any sandbox where one of those files has been modified.
