Yes, of course it can. Use the -d option to cvs:
$ cvs -d ':pserver:cvs@server:/path' login
$ cvs -d ':pserver:cvs@server:/path' checkout foo-module
You would have to explicitly specify the -d option in all the
invocations of CVS though[1], and this can get boring after a while.

[1] Well, not exactly 100% *all* of them, since CVS will in some very
well defined cases, pick up the "working CVSROOT" from the local
files and happily use it. But that's a detail you'll find out
easily after using CVS for a while.
