Sure. Something like this pseudocode:

svn co $REPO repo
cd repo
svn mkdir trunk
svn mkdir branches
svn mkdir tags
for each $ITEM other than trunk branches tags
        svn mv $ITEM trunk
end
svn ci -m "Reorganizing: moving everything into a new trunk directory"

And then email the team to tell them to switch their working copies
from $REPO to $REPO/trunk.

Then you have a trunk, and an empty branches directory. Then you can
copy the trunk to a new name in the branches directory to make a
branch, like it says in the book. Repeat as often as you like to
create additional branches.
