That's not quite true.

Yes, provided you don't publish your repository, because git-svn requires you
to rebase your local git commits on top of the svn repository, and that may
break commits done in another git repository.
A middleware tool sitting between a git and an svn repository is probably
possible to write, but no such thing exists at the moment, AFAIK.
I don't know much about SVK, but I think it has the same limitations as
git-svn.
