Yes. Name your patches "patch-local-<something>", and they'll be applied
unconditionally without checksumming, and no checked out patch will ever
over-write them. The "cvs update" will list such files at the beginning,
with a leading question mark, but otherwise not bother them. It should
be safe to "sup" over them, too.
