Of course.  If you just want to retrieve it to look at it, you can use
update with an explicit -r option to get a particular revision (you can
use log to figure out what revision you want), with or without the -p
option to send it to the standard output rather than creating a file. 
If you want to resurrect it (i.e., undelete it), then use update with
two -j options to undo the removal.  For example:

        cvs update -j HEAD -j 1.22 file.c
