Well...I can't say absolutely for sure about CVS, but I know you can do
that exact situation with SVN with absolutely no problems. It works
like a charm. For that matter, I don't see why you couldn't do the
exact same thing with CVS...CVS wouldn't handle the merging very well as
you did the random 'cvs update' to grab new changes from the repo, but
it'd probably handle it better than you do manually. Regardless, I know
SVN would handle this situation beautifully.

Now he had CVS, which is neither here nor there since that one
doesn't seem to be on anyone's list as "modern". But what would
have been very helpful to me would have been this workflow:
1) connect to internet and check out current seppl work
2) while offline, work on my changes and make local commits
3) from time to time, sync up to follow unrelated changes that
the main author is making
4) more work offline (resolve conflicts, etc.) with local commits
5) Ultimately, I'd like to be able to present the author with a diff
against his cutting edge working tree so he can merge in my
changes with minimum trouble.
