Yes, definitely. Just set up a local repository by setting the
environment variable CVSROOT to a local directory. The documentation is
good, IMO: http://www.cvshome.org/docs/manual/

CVS has its origins in the Unix world, if you use Windows, you can
either use Cygwin's CVS package or use the native win32 version from
http://www.cvsnt.org/ (site seems to have problems right now :-()

There are also tons of GUI interfaces for CVS. A good starting point is
http://cvsgui.sf.net/

I personally can say that I prefer CVS to Vi$ual SourceSafe, and also
look forward to Subversion reaching beta, then I'll probably convert my
personal projects to it.
