Have you tried SVK's conflict handling, to see how they are handling it?
  Any time a merge causes a conflict, the commandline client gives you a
prompt that consists of the possible choices:

Conflict found in config/dnsbl_zones:
e)dit, d)iff, m)erge, s)kip, t)heirs, y)ours, h)elp? [e]

where the "m)erge" choice will call available external merge resolution
tools (e.g. MELD, kdiff3, or even vim). This behavior is on by default
for the commandline, unlike what you are proposing; the prompt could
certainly be suppressed with a --non-interactive option.

Just something to consider, since I use this all the time and it really
does what I would expect Subversion to support...
