Is there a way I can export the data at work, put them on a drive, paste them into the folder at home and "make it work"? I assume I can't just copy everything including the .svn folders as they will contain a different repository URL.

Yes, working copies are (trans)portable. Just zip up your entire working
copy at work and put it onto a big enough USB stick or whatever. Unzip
it at home and use it *instead* of your old "home" working copy from now
on. If you need some unversioned files or if you have uncommitted
changes in your old "home" copy, copy these into the one you brought
from work, not the other way round.
