Directories are never removed in CVS so "recovery" is required. I'm somewhat confused about your objective. If you want to recover modules (and of course the content) make sure you have a tagging policy that works for you. You can then "restore" using a checkout and if necessary check it back in (after you remove the sticky tags with update -A). Joining is used to rewind changes to the current branch or trunk one file at a time. It can also be used to apply changes from one branch to another. I don't think "recovery" is the intended use since CVS tags do that for you.

Is there a way to recover an entire directory with all of it's contents and subdirectories? Right now I know how to recover individual copies of files with cvs up -j [dead vers] -j [old vers] [filename]. And to restore directories with update -d -R [dirname].
