Maybe I'm missing something, but what I've done in similar situations 
basically amounts to:

  svn propset svn:ignore "foo" .
  svn co http://example.com/repository foo

Later:

  svn up foo
  rsync foo/ standard/location/

That is, the files are all copied (or symlinked) from a single foreign 
checkout directory into their standard homes within the native 
repository tree.  IME, the "up vs co" logic is best stuck in a 
bootstrapping script ala:
  http://svn.dotreader.com/svn/dotreader/trunk/util/dev_fetch_books

Do avoid svn:externals though.
