Certainly. Every revision has a set of unversioned properties attached
to it. Here's an example:
$ svn proplist -v --revprop -rHEAD http://svn.collab.net/repos/svn
Unversioned properties on revision 9636:
svn:log : * COMMITTERS: Convert to UTF-8 [...]
svn:author : kfogel
svn:date : 2004-05-06T17:05:54.159637Z
You want to manually 'propedit' the svn:date property on each revision.
But you don't say *how* you're converting from VSS to Subversion. If
you're using some tool to do this, it should automatically be doing this
for you. (e.g. if it's creating the commits in the form of an svn
dumpfile, like cvs2svn.py does, then the dumpfile would automatically
contain the correct svn:date properties.)
