No such mechanism exists at this time.

Why not use svn ls -v to check if a commit has happened since the last
export? Something like this:

#!/bin/sh
URL=http://host/path/trunk

svn ls -v $URL > svn-ls
if [ -f svn-ls.old ] && diff svn-ls svn-ls.old > /dev/null; then
  # Up-to-date, do nothing
  true
else
  rm -rf export
  svn export $URL export
  do-build # Replace with the command to start the build process
fi
mv svn-ls svn-ls.old

Be sure not to run it twice at the same time though. Or you could
update a working copy, and make a copy of it minus the .svn
directories.
