Yup, or you could just do:
$ svn checkout -r 102
svn://server/project/branches/test/jeff-whatever-private-branch
to get only that branch

Depends on how often you'll have to take a look at which branches have
existed. If you've deleted a bunch of branches at various revisions
throughout your repository history, getting a list of all the branches
that have existed is non-trivial.
I have a /branches/closed directory where I put the branches when I'm
done with them. That way it's always easy to just take a look in there
and see all the branches I've ever had (using 'svn ls'). Just do:
$ svn move svn://server/project/branches/test/private-branch
svn://server/project/branches/closed/
Doesn't take up any more space in your repository to do it that way,
and since they're in an out of the way directory you won't see them
unless you want to.
