Sample CVSROOT/modules:

# start sample
gstep-make ThirdParty/gstep-make
foo blah/bar

OpenGroupware.org baz/moo &foo &gstep-make
# end sample

This allows someone to checkout a blah, baz and ThirdParty module; a
gstep-make and a foo module; or an OpenGroupware.org module delivering
everything at once. While still offering better granularity of the
repository.

The vfs layout of the above repository (on the server) would look
something like this:

CVSROOT/                (always present)
ThirdParty/gstep-make/
ThirdParty/otherstuff   (optionally)
baz/moo/
baz/otherstuff          (optionally)
blah/bar/
blah/otherstuff         (optionally)

More tricks are possible using aliases and such, they are explained in
comments in the default (empty) CVSROOT/modules.
