No, that's not possible.
But you can read the FAQ and use pageant:

TSVN can't kill a process on a remote machine - no application can (or
should be able to!) do that. If it could, that would be a huge security
breach.
And all connections are automatically closed properly. Even if they
weren't, as soon as you close the TSVN dialog, the process ends and the
connections are closed automatically by Windows itself.

Maybe you have something blocking some data packets which prevent a
proper shutdown.
And you may want to configure the timeout settings on your server so
that a connection times out properly and the process can time out and
close there too.
