No. It's equivalent to:
cd ${basedir} && cvs -d ${cvs.root} checkout my_module

No.

C:\>cvs --help-options
CVS global options (specified before the command name) are:
[...]
-d CVS_root Overrides $CVSROOT as the root of the CVS tree.
[...]
(Specify the --help option for a list of other help options)
C:\>cvs --help co
Usage:
cvs checkout [-ANPRcflnps] [-r rev | -D date] [-d dir]
[-j rev1] [-j rev2] [-k kopt] modules...
[...]
-d dir Check out into dir instead of module name.
[...]
(Specify the --help global option for a list of other help options)
=> There are different -d options available with cvs, so you could do a
cvs -d $MYCVSROOT co -d somedir somemodule.
>From the docs I would guess what Nicolas should use is
<cvs cvsRoot="${cvs.root}" dest="${basedir}" package="my_module"
command="co -d ${basedir}/>
