Yes, it's called 'cherry picking', the arbitrary porting of a changeset from one branch ot another. Subversion does it fine. We do this all the time when working on subversion itself. A bug is fixed on the main trunk, then the changeset is backported to the current stable-release branch. It's very easy to do.
(CVS does this too, it's nothing earthshattering. I think it's a bit easier to do in Subversion, of course, because Subverison actually gives *names* to changesets, whereas CVS has to rely on incessant tagging to isolate changesets.)
Chapter 4 in the svn book is all about branching and merging, check it out.
