You mean, like every user has their own local directory where they put
lockfiles? The very idea of lockfiles is that they coordinate access to a
resource that can't be accessed concurrently. In order to do that in the most
secure way, these lockfiles must be on the very same disk that the locked
files are on, so while what you ask for is possible, it would break the
effectiveness of these lockfiles and the data integrity of Subversion.

The typical advise is to simply not do that. Instead of serving the repository
itself via a network filesystem, start svnserve to serve the repository via
the svn protocol.
