I haven't used CVS in over 13 years and I'm not familiar with TkCVS but
some quick searching seems to point to a ~/.tkcvs config file or
~/.cvsrc file that may allow you to set something to ignore CVS/root

It looks like on the command line you could do 
cvs -d $CVSROOT <cvs_command>

but I don't know how to translate that to TkCVS.
