can an svn:externals refer to a simple directory?

  it may be that i'm just missing the solution but is there an
equivalent to "svn:externals" to refer to a simple directory, not a
repository?

  the rationale is that i'd like to include third party OSS source in
a project, and this is not source that would *ever* be modified. for
example, a copy of the linux kernel. there would be little point in
checking something like that into the repository since it would never
have local changes committed back in; hence little value in adding it
to the repo.

  does this make any sense?
