You mean in TSVN?
No, at least not right now, and it's not planned (yet). We've discussed
this a little on the mailing list, but people either didn't wanted to be
prompted at all during an update or they didn't care.
You can doubleclick on the red marked entries (the conflicts) in the
progress dialog after an update to resolve the conflicts. And TMerge
even has a button to mark the conflict as resolved (as you can do by
right-clicking on such a red conflicted entry from the context menu).

Why do you want to be prompted for every possible conflict *during* an
update and not just at the end of the update? If you could explain so I
can understand your reasons, I might add a configuration for this.
