I'm far from a cvs expert but I don't think there is any relation between a CVS repo lock dir and the temporary directory I'm speaking of here. The temp dir I'm speaking about is used as a transient storage space for committed files. Once the committed files are all in this space then the real commit process can start and this is where the LockDir palys a role.
See http://www.gnu.org/manual/cvs-1.9/html_chapter/cvs_20.html#SEC89 for more information.
