If you don't want to create some automated way of creating the
site-lisp and lock directories on the fly, commit a zero-length file
called something like .keep in them.  Then you can use -P and they'll
be created but the other one won't.

Summary:

% touch .keep
% cvs add -m"Zero-length file to make sure this directory gets create don checkout" .keep
% cvs commit -m"Added to repository." .keep

Use an exclude file to keep them out of the tarballs if you want, but
the probably wouldn't hurt anything, would they?
