I might lay out my repository like this:

/branches
/tags
/trunk
   /source
/jdks
   /win32
   /linux
/modules
   /win32
   /linux

The /modules/win32 directory is basically empty, but it has an
svn:externals property like

     /source URL-to-/trunk/source
     /jdk URL-to-/jdks/win32

...and set up something analogous on the /modules/linux directory.

So a windows user would do a checkout of /modules/win32, and a linux
user would do a checkout of /modules/linux.

This is just a simple example, though. It can get much more complex.
