No, it's just not possible. The entire Subversion library is built
around the concept of local working copies with .svn directories storing
admin info about those working copies. This isn't possible with single
files. You can "svn cat" a single file, which will give you the contents
of that file.

So you want to write another DAV servlet using only Java? This should be
technically possible; I don't see why you would need to checkout
anything in order to serve up files over DAV as well as provide some
sort of autoversioning capability. I'd imagine, though, that you'd want
to use the Repository Access layer in order to accomplish this.
