In your Makefile, link svn_version.o into your executable, then add:

svn_version.c: FORCE
        echo 'const char* svn_version(void) { return "' > svn_version.c
        svnversion -n . >> svn_version.c
        echo '"; }' >> svn_version.c

a call to svn_version() will return the working copy version string.
