For example, I've got WordPress as svn external for my alexking.org SVN repo and PHP Tag Engine as an svn external for Tasks Pro™ and Tasks™.

Create a local svn repository, check out the root. Next create a file called "externals" that looks like this: django http://code.djangoproject.com/svn/django/trunk with one line per project you want to track. Next, create a bash script with something like this in it: svn propset svn:externals . -F externals Check both the script and your externals file in. Now, the magic. "svn up". This will checkout all of the projects you want to track. When you want to update all of the projects, just "svn up" again. For added points, use SVN as a meta-package tool.
