Well, it's not quite that simple. See http://svk.elixus.org/?SVKFAQ for more details.

"Committing anything to mirrored paths with svn will break the mirror, and merging with svn merge will cause subsequent svk smerge to lose merge history, resulting in possible duplicate merges"
But, if you "create a local branch then you can use svn clients for committing there, and use svk to push and pull."

Hmm, that sounds better than I remembered, I might have to try it again.
