Sort of.  I've added code to getdate.y to accept yyyy/mm/dd as a valid
date format (it used to assume that any date in that format was
mm/dd/[yy]yy).  You'll still have to add an explicit timezone (e.g., UTC
or +0) to avoid CVS interpreting it as local time.

See the Cederqvist manual's description of -D in "Common command
options".
