The post that came in here just before yours discusses this. See
"Rebuilding deleted SVN repository". The answer is "no, you've lost

Actually, that's a different question. You can also create backups
using svk, without admin access. (I haven't done a restore from one of
these; it would need to be scripted, and I haven't gone looking for the
script. So there might be some important bits missing.)
