No. Just don't check them in, in the first place ;=)

Well, strictly speaking that's not true. You could tag the files and
then 'cvs rm' them. Any time you do want to get them, you'll have to get
them by tag.

What exactly are you trying to accomplish? Maybe there's another way to
get what you want.
