You should be able to find a number of implementations in the mailing list
archives. Here's mine, which is directly based on someone else's suggestion:

-----snip-----
# Prevent modification of existing tags
SVNLOOK=/usr/local/bin/svnlook
$SVNLOOK changed -t "$TXN" "$REPOS" | grep "tags/" >/dev/null
if [ $? -eq 0 ] ;
then
  $SVNLOOK changed -t "$TXN" "$REPOS" | egrep "^[AD]
[[:space:]]+(.*/)?tags/[^/]+/$" >/dev/null
  if [ $? -ne 0 ] ;
  then
    echo >&2 "Modification of tags is not allowed. Commit aborted!" 1>&2
    exit 1
  fi
fi
-----snip-----

Basically, this allows the creation of new tags and the deletion of existing
tags, but does not allow modifications to existing tags. If the transaction
affected "tags" and was NOT an add or delete, the hook rejects the commit.
