Sure. What I've done in the past is to cvs-remove all files except one, like your THIS-REPOSITORY-IS-DEAD, and then to add a commit hook prohibiting all write access. That way, old cvsweb links will continue to work, yet no one will be able to accidentally commit any change. Let me know when/if you'd like the commit hook to be put in place.
