One solution here is perhaps to add an svn diff option along the lines
of '--outputpatchto' or '-o' to select a file for the patch to be
written to (taking care to not overwrite versioned files).

So your work flow might look like this:

boole:~/wpp# svn diff foo.png
Index: foo.png
===================================================================
Cannot display: file marked as a binary type.
svn:mime-type = application/octet-stream
boole:~/wpp# svn diff foo.png -o foo.patch
svn: 673 bytes written to 'foo.patch'.
boole:~/wpp#
