Ah i know what you mean now The .res format that plugins, and plain old servers use was intrdouced around 1.2 of Gold Source.
If i can think back to a document i read by Jay Wilber about the format you could only allow map file formats, wav, txt, bsp, wad, etc, to stop servers sending unwated exe, com, and dll files that could be harmful to the clients system. If you can get enough clout behind the plugin like with CheatingDeath then you could setup a client/server hook. But no, mani mod, and un-modded servers will not send any 'code' files to the client.
