Yes, there is.  We do this on sources.redhat.com.

First disable all the login services except sshd.

Then in the user's .ssh/authorized_keys, instead of just the key, put
this:

no-port-forwarding,no-X11-forwarding,no-agent-forwarding,command="/usr/local/bin/cvs server" ... rest of key here ...

Read the sshd man page (I imagine) for more info on how this works.
