It has been *ages* since I used CVS, and even then I hardly touched it,
but does something like this do (pseudo-ish code):

for FILE in `cvs -q diff (or maybe rdiff) blah blah blah | awk '{print
$2}'` do
	# more sanity checking
	# upload the file
done

Assuming [r]diff outputs things like this: 

	File foo/bar.php changed from revision blah blah blah
