No, that is not possible.
The way to do it is to ssh to the remote machine, and on the remote
machine, execute the "svn update" command in your production server's
working copy of your site. This requires you to have ssh access to
the remote machine, svn installed on the remote machine, and your
repository served on the Internet such that the production machine
can access it. It sounds like your setup doesn't meet these
requirements, so this solution won't work for you.
Another option would be rsync. Keep a local working copy of the
production site, switch/update it when you want, and then rsync it to
the production server. This requires you to have rsync (or ssh)
access to the production server.
