Well, there is a way of doing what you want. First, you should have your
repository setup the way it is recommended: with /tags, /branches and
/trunk. Assuming your stuff is in trunk, you can get what you want by
doing the following:

$ svn mkdir svn://host/repos/tags/my-tag
$ svn cp -r580 svn://host/repos/trunk/a svn://host/repos/tags/my-tag/a
$ svn cp svn://host/repos/trunk/b svn://host/repos/tags/my-tag/b
$ svn cp -r320 svn://host/repos/trunk/c svn://host/repos/tags/my-tag/c
$ svn cp svn://host/repos/trunk/d svn://host/repos/tags/my-tag/d

You see, in Subversion we don't have LABELs or TAGs in another
dimension, but we use a directory as a means of labeling a bunch of
files. Because copies are cheap (e.g., the tag will just be stored as
references to the actual versions of the files), this doesn't take a lot
of storage.
