No. There is, at present, no way to configure client settings globally
via the Subversion server.

svn:ignore is a versioned property of directories. It is normally set
by manipulating a working copy, then committing.
%APPDATA%\Subversion\config is the local user's Subversion client
settings. Changing this on the server will not do anything for remote
users.
global-ignores in your configuration file will not change svn:ignore
on the versioned items at all. It will suppress the display of status
information on files which match those patterns, and bypass
adding/importing files which match those patterns when you perform svn
add and svn import on a directory.
There is no way to set client configuration options from the server.
If you have particular policies which you need to enforce, they must
be enforced by a pre-commit hook script which will reject any commit
which does not adhere to those policies.
