In this case, where you want the diff between two exported files or trees, I
think you should export them and then use a regular (non-Subversion) "diff"
program:

   svn export $R/tags/KDE/3.4.92/kdelibs/kio/kio/kservicegroup.cpp d1/
   svn export $R/branches/KDE/3.5/kdelibs/kio/kio/kservicegroup.cpp d2/
   diff d1/ d2/ > 3_5_BRANCH.diff

This seems to be an obvious and simple solution, so I don't think we should
enhance "svn diff" to do this, though it is certainly possible to do so.
