That seems to be done already - http://svn.borg.ch/svntar/:

  svntar is a program to create tar files from a
  subversion working copy or repository.
    * Creates USTAR files (filenames up to 253 characters).
    * Supports compression using gzip (-z) bzip2 (-j) and lzma (-l).
    * Permissions owner group and mtime are stored if the properties
      defined by FSVS are set.
    * Supports character and block devices created by FSVS (from
      repos URL only).
