 I believe on checkout you can always use the '-r' option to specify version. 
But note that is version of the file, not a version of crossfire.

 I have been adding tags each time I make a crossfire release, so if you check
out with a tag value, you will a version as it was for some particular release.

 There may be other cvs options to check out based on date and other factors.  I
would look at the cvs man page for them all.
