There is no way to do this with a stock CVS. You won't be able to do it
with modules either, in client/server mode.
It might be an interesting patch to be able to map directories/modules
on a server to projects on other servers, basically turning a CVS server
into a proxy for particular modules/directories.
Otherwise, you will need to checkout the modules seperately on your
client - perhaps a script would do the trick? You might also consider
importing the external project into your local tree periodically, of
course you wouldn't always be up to date and merging back can be a pain.
