I don't understand this..what do you mean by non standard module
look at the savannah project itself for example, has a lots of modules
http://savannah.gnu.org/cgi-bin/viewcvs/savannah/

also the GNU Hurd project

http://savannah.gnu.org/cgi-bin/viewcvs/hurd/

differently evolving modules get different CVS modules...
each separately checkoutable...

no flag actually :) there's a flag -d to update new dirs too..
