Mostly, but only mostly though. 

hg is checking out a bookmark called @ and I'm sure the process of
converting the CVS repos to hg could be adjusted so that the bookmark @
is forcibly set to be the trunk after each CVS import/update. 

Unfortunately hg will ignore bookmark updates on "hg pull/update" when
it sees the bookmark changing in illogical ways (I can't remember the
details). The CVS conversion process sometimes changes the bookmark @
in illogical ways. This doesn't end well.

I always explicitly checkout a named branch and I have wrapper scripts
to make that easy for me.
