All recent versions of TortoiseCVS allow that, but ancient ones not.

I think you can create a TOP LEVEL module only using Import; 
subdirectories can be created with Add.
That would be OK if you never check out a whole repository - and I 
never do that, wold be nonsensical for our repositories. Most users 
are interested on a few modules only, never on the whole repository.
