Try an alias module:

http://ximbiot.com/cvs/manual/cvs-1.11.22/cvs_18.html#SEC160

Assuming your top-level directories are named 'dir1' and 'dir2', and 
'dir1' is the one with most of the files, this would do something like 
what you want.

my_module -a dir1 dir2/other_dir ...

Then

cvs checkout my_module

would put dir/... and dir2/other_dir/... in your working directory.
