Hi Dave, On the assumption, that all the possible values from the checkboxes, can be found in the database, I would consider using:
http://book.cakephp.org/view/152/Adding-your-own-Validation-Methods and in the validation method, validate that the submitted checkbox values exists in the database! Just in case someone is trying to hack your form! :) If the values are not from the database, then you have to specify them manually in the validate array, not a good solution!
