You could achieve something like this with a pre-commit hook.

My idea would be like this:
- define your own property, say "pin"
- write a pre-commit hook that checks whether a file has this property
  set to "yes" or whatever
- reject the commit if the property is set
- but specifically allow setting the property "pin" to something else

On the client side you would do something like "svn propset pin yes myFile"
and commit that. From then on your pre-commit hook would reject every commit
that tries to alter the file except if you commit a "svn propset pin no
myFile".
