What I mean is: will one be able to call
"cvs update -D <some date in the past>" and get a valid working directory?

This will involve at least
1. Copying file from old location to new
2. Modifying the file to make it work again
3. Removing the old file
4. CVS removing the old file
5. CVS adding the new file
6. CVS committing the whole lot

Alternatively, stages 1 and 4 can be replaced with a cvsmove operation if
you really wish, but that is messy and unreliable.
