I've tried the following:

- cvs add (new folder)
In another sandbox:
- cvs update:           the new folder isn't there
- cvs update -d:        the new folder is there, empty
- cvs update -d -P:     the new folder isn't there

So you can checkout an empty folder using -d, unless you also specify -P
