Yes. But it's also an incredible waste of time. Use the Berkeley
db_dump and db_load utilities for that purpose, and save yourself the
overhead of deducting changesets for each of your revisions, of
undeltifying old versions for each of your changed files, etc...

Seriously:

   On old machine:
      $ for DBFILE in changes copies nodes representations \
                      revisions strings transactions uuids; do \
        db_dump ${DBFILE} > ${DBFILE}.dump; \
        done

   On new machine:

      $ svnadmin create new-repos
      $ cd new-repos/db
      $ # copy *.dump from the old machine
      $ for DBFILE in changes copies nodes representations \
                      revisions strings transactions uuids; do \
        rm ${DBFILE}
        db_load ${DBFILE} < ${DBFILE}.dump; \
        done
