What if, instead of hardcoding the mapping between "svn:executable"
and the functionality "chmod +x", why not generalize, and let the
user configure event-handlers for properties? For lack of syntax:

<action property="svn:executable" event="update">
        chmod +x %
</action>

This pushes all platform dependency onto the end-user, and
is a powerful interface to boot.
