Why not just check out all the projects at once by making a list of them
in the arguments.
svn co -r "HEAD" http://websvn.your.domain/trunk/proj1 \
http://websvn.your.domain/trunk/proj2 etc.....
I'm not sure if this will check out the same version of "HEAD" if
someone checks in a change to a project during the checkout command's
runtime. Maybe someone else can clear that up if svn's commands are
atomic.
If "HEAD" can change during your check out. You could check out one
project, find the repository version number using Steve Williams method
or the `svnversion` program and then check out the rest of the projects
using that as the -r argument.
I think that should do it.

Chris
