Maybe. Sort-of. Sometimes. In other words, no.

If you're going to allow anonymous CVS access, the best way to do this
is to have the tarball be an anonymously checked-out working directory
complete with metadata in CVS subdirectories. If you're not going to
allow anonymous access, then it's probably best to make interested
people do a full checkout in a new directory rather than trying to
overlay an existing directory of unknown provenance.
