That's not really a good idea.

Merges in SVN are intended to operate on entire revisions, whereas by dragging files around you are implying that you want it to operate on only those files that are dragged.

Even if this were possible, it would significantly mess up the revision-based merge tracking.

It could almost make sense if the folder being dragged is the root of the working copy, but the problem with this is that there'd be no way to specify the range of revisions that should be merged, and things get even more confusing if multiple folders were dropped.
