Yes. But instead of creating a module, you'd just create (svn mkdir)
another location in the repository with the appropriate svn:externals
set. This is a common theme of Subversion: lots of separate concepts
in CVS - tags, branches, modules - are supported in a more free-form
fashion in Subversion according to the layout of your repository.
