Yes, there's no way to do that with "svn import".

I doubt you have admin access to the vendor repository, but if you do, or can get the \
admins to help you, you can "svnadmin dump" their repo and "svnadmin load" it into \
yours. If you don't care to have their whole history, you can just get the HEAD \
revision.

This only helps for the initial import, however. Not sure how you would obtain future \
updates from their repository and retain properties.
