It should work fine. What's the problem? That is, what doesn't work?
Any part of the repository can be checked out and checked into. You
can make as many working copies of whatever parts of the repository
as you want.
svn checkout \
http://example.com/repos/siteroot/public_html/clients/portfolio
svn checkout \
http://example.com/repos/siteroot/public_html/aboutus
svn checkout \
http://example.com/repos/siteroot/includes
Now you have three separate working copies in the current directory
on your computer, called portfolio, aboutus and includes, which can
be edited and committed at will.
You cannot, however, make a change to two or more of these
directories and expect to be able to commit the changes as a single
revision, unless you have checked out the entire common parent
directory.
