You get modules out of CVS, not single files.
cvs checkout <module> to checkout a complete module,
and then cvs update to update it.
cvs checkout -l <module> to only get the toplevel and then
check out specific subdirs of it.

If you really want a single file,
cvs checkout module/subdir/file should work, provided that you know
the complete path to it.
http://webcvs.kde.org comes to mind for that, too :)
