If I understand you correctly, Yes I think so. The sites would be required to
have two mirrors configured: one for their site and one for the globals. The
latter could be a readonly mirror (which would certainly be prudent) and the
former could be a bidirectional read/write mirror (so they could make local
changes and you would get them).

They would be required to sync each mirror segment individually, but since only
one would potentially have local change, it would only be required to check the
site mirror for possible conflicts. In other words:

        # to initialize mirrors
        $ svk mirror //remote/global http://yourserver/repos/global
        $ svk sync //remote/global
        $ svk mirror //remote/site1 http://yourserver/repos/site1
        $ svk sync //remote/site1

        # establish their local working copies
        $ svk cp //remote/site1 //local
        $ svk co //remote/global /path/to/global
        $ svk co //local /path/to/local

        # normal sync process
        $ svk sync //remote/global
        $ svk sync //remote/site1
        $ svk smerge -C //remote/site1 //local
        $ svk smerge //remote/site1 //local

        # transfer local updates to remote
        $ svk smerge -C //local //remote/site1
        $ svk smerge //local //remote/site1
        $ svk sync //remote/site1
