Well, you could include just the subdirs via svn:externals. That is,
instead of a prop value like this:

   lib http://myserver.org/repos/lib/trunk/

you would have this

   lib/PEAR http://myserver.org/repos/lib/trunk/PEAR
   lib/whatever http://myserver.org/repos/lib/trunk/whatever
   [...]

and simply not include the 'jgraph' subdir.

Still, it might be easier just to get 'jgraph' and ignore it, unless
it's very inconvenient.
