Well, it can:

saulius@kolibris: saulius/ > svnadmin dump --help
dump: usage: svnadmin dump REPOS_PATH [-r LOWER[:UPPER]] [--incremental]

...

Valid options:
  -r [--revision] arg : specify revision number ARG (or X:Y range)

so

svnadmin dump -r 100:HEAD /path/to/the/repo

should do the job of selecting just the latest revisions.

Whether this is practical is another question...
