Actually, you could do something like this:

  /trunk
    ... whatever
  /modules
    /from-home
    /from-work

Just set up the svn:externals appropriately and have /home/cjwatson check
out the appropriate one. /from-home would use the hostname from home, and
would check out /trunk plus whatever else. etc.

IOW, don't put the svn:extrnals on /trunk itself, but somewhere else. And
then use the two "somewhere else" locations as the selection mechanism for
your hostnames.
