It's possible, yes. In your post-commit hook, you'll need to examine
every file that is added to the repository. If it is binary (check the
svn:mime-type - http://subversion.tigris.org/faq.html#binary-files)
then you'll need to check it out, add the svn:needs-lock property, and
commit it back, and then tidy up.

I looked at it, and gave because of the complexity of having a
post-commit hook manage a local working copy. I'd rather wait until
you can use propset on a URL - see bug
http://subversion.tigris.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=2238 currently
scheduled for 1.4.

An easier option is to use the auto-props facility
(http://svnbook.red-bean.com/en/1.1/ch07s02.html#svn-ch-7-sect-2.4) to
set the svn:needs-lock property on files with extensions you add - but
this would need to be done on a per-client basis rather than once at
the server.
