That was the case for me too, but I've figured out a way.

Surely you must have a .ssh directory somewhere -- it has at least a
file named 'identity' in it.  Create a file named 'config' there.
In that config file, put these commands:

  Host cvs.zope.org
  User tim_one

Now I can use -d :ext:cvs.zope.org:/cvs-repository on the cvs command
line.
