There isn't a pre-checkout script, that's true.
What you could do is keep a working copy of the relevant part of the
repository on the server, and automatically update it every time
someone commits, via a post-commit hook. Then, for the people who
should only be able to get things from head, have them use this
working copy. Of course, they could then only look, not do any
Subversion operations, like modify and check back in....
