No. Because CVS only tracks files, not directories, it doesn't have any
way to distingish between a directory that's missing because you
explicitly asked to not check it out and one that's missing because it
was added after you did the initial checkout. Update has a -d flag to
create directories like checkout does -- you may want to put it into
your .cvsrc file if you never checkout partial directory trees.
