No, that's not available. You can have working copies inside other
working copies, but you cannot check out two repository paths to the
same local directory.
So, for example, you could easily have:
project/ <-- working copy of project
plugins/
foo/ <-- working copy of foo plugin
bar/ <-- working copy of bar plugin
And you could even automate the creation of such a nested working
copy using svn:externals. But I don't think there's a way to do what
you're asking.
