if i understand you correctly, you want to do something like this.

1) check out trunk.

2) merge the changes you made on /tags/safenet/R35 into your working
copy.

3) resolve any conflicts.

4) commit.

so:

$ svn co http://svn:8080/trunk wc
$ cd wc
$ svn merge -r BEGIN_CHANGES:END_CHANGES
http://svn:8080/tags/safenet/R35
  [ ... ] resolve conflicts
$ svn resolve --recursive .
$ svn commit

note that BEGIN_CHANGES and END_CHANGES are the beginning revision and
end revision of the modifications you made to the branch (don't worry
if there are other unrelated revisions in there, it'll only look at the
ones that changed the branch).

you can find more on merging (probably giving a better explanation than
i can) in the subversion book at http://svnbook.red-bean.com/.
