Yes, but that's not quite the whole story.  It is done at directory level, 
not module level.  ie: if you have a checked out copy of libc and you want 
to commit something in the gen subdir onto 2.1, you can:
  cd libc/gen
  cvs update -r RELENG_2_1_0	# get dir onto 2.1 branch
  <hack>
  cvs commit getpwent.c
  cvs update -A			# release sticky tag

And, of course, the obligatory reminder that RELENG_2_1_0 is *not* a 
free-for-all like -current is.
