Yes it's not possible with a single command. But you could just tag the main
project and it's dependencies with the same tag.

I have been doing multi-repository project since forever, I tag each
repository separately. When tagging the main project I have a file that
specifies the tags for the dependencies.

The I svn co the main project's tag, then use the file in the tagged revision
to retrieve the dependencies tagged revisions.

You could optimise by keeping a build copy locally, and just svn switching
them to the relevant tags.
