Simon,

Like Tony says it is possible, but judging from the documentation and
taking into consideration the post from Florent, removing revisions
older than one month would be a tedious and dangerous task. Now I am no
"expert or Guru" but personally it hasn't been necessary in the past for
me to use the Admin -o option. Heed the warnings in the documentation,
and always as a precaution backup your repository before any Admin
command.

Just my .02

With hard drive space being so cheap these days, shouldn't you just
consider adding more space to your server? 

You would have to directly edit the RCS files in the repository to
remove revisions older than one month. Not recommended unless you have a
"PHD" in RCS file structure and another "PHD" in programming perl.

AFAIK there is no way to remove revisions older than a month within the
RCS files that live in the repository
