Yes, you can do it in a pre-commit hook.

You're right, the hook isn't told the names of the files, because
it's a bit more involved than that. Some files or directories could
have gotten added, modified, deleted, moved -- a bit much to
represent on the command line. Instead, the hook is given the
transaction number, with which you can run svnlook to get whatever
information you wanted.
Someone recently posted a bash script used to do syntax or stylistic
checks on committed Java files. Perhaps you can use that as a basis
for building in your checks on your Mathematica files.

Just remember that you must not attempt to modify the data in the
incoming transaction or the world will end.
