You can do this if you are using http (apache) access method. (IIRC,
there was a Google summer of code project going on to do the same for
svn:// access).
The access control for http:// is described in
http://svnbook.red-bean.com/en/1.1/svn-book.html#svn-ch-6-sect-4.4

But I do not think you can give permission to read/write a parent
directory and take away the permission for a subdirectory.

Also, there is no hook script for checkout.
