No. By definition, a file is under CVS control only when it is in the
repository.
You could create a directory in the repository containing these files, and
add a script that will automatically check out or export these files to the
/var directory whenever you commit them. See
https://www.cvshome.org/docs/manual/cvs-1.11.16/cvs_18.html#SEC175 for more
details on how to do this.
