Sure it is. I'm not sure I'd call this a "tag", really, but
you can call it what you like. :-)

Just copy the files, as you like them, to a directory.
You can use something like:
$ svn mkdir $REPOS/tags/my-tag
$ svn copy $REPOS/trunk/file1 $REPOS/tags/my-tag/
$ svn copy $REPOS/trunk/file2 $REPOS/tags/my-tag/
$ svn copy $REPOS/trunk/file3 $REPOS/tags/my-tag/

This would create a new revision for each copy, though,
so it would probably be better to do something like:
$ svn mkdir $REPOS/tags/my-tag
$ svn checkout $REPOS/tags/my-tag
$ svn copy $REPOS/trunk/file1 .
$ svn copy $REPOS/trunk/file2 .
$ svn copy $REPOS/trunk/file3 .
$ svn commit

By the sounds of it, however, you don't need to bother
with creating such a complex copy. If the files are
to be handed to another entity, then you can get the
names with:
$ svn log -v -r8:10

I hope that's some help :-)
