A few thoughts:

First, if this is truly a "Nightly" build, you have some other update  
method. ("foobar")
Wrap that in a shell script and supply it as the CTEST_CVS_COMMAND

or

Claim that this is an "Experimental" build rather than a "Nightly" one.

or

Trick ctest into doing a meaningless cvs (or svn) update of a dummy file
