I use svncopy.pl to tag my trunk prior to building. That freezes
the free externals to the current HEAD revision of whatever they
are pointing at.

i.e.

trunk/Sources/project contains an eclipse project

trunk/Build/project contains maven build files
                         also "imports" sources from
                        Sources/project via an external
                        which is not pinned.

svncopy.pl --tag trunk tags/foo

Create a copy of trunk at tags/foo/trunk, but freezes
the externals in tags/foo/trunk/Build/project to refer
to a specific revision of trunk/Sources/project before
doing so.

Would that help you?
