You can use the "-d" option when setting up the ampersand modules in 
the modules file (see e.g. 
http://www.cvshome.org/docs/manual/cvs-1.11.14/cvs_18.html#SEC162).

For your example above you could specify two ampersand modules
        moduleA -d moduleNEW/Test/dir11 moduleSrc/dir1/dir11
        moduleB -d moduleNEW/oneDir/twoDir/threeDir/dir2        moduleSrc/dir2

and combine those to a module
        moduleNEW       &moduleA &moduleB

However, I'm not sure if you can specify a path with several 
(non-existing) subdirs in the -d option. I've never tried it that 
way.
