No need to migrate anything. Just take a working copy of the project,
make the trunk, branches and tags directories, move everything else
into trunk, and commit. Forgive my pseudocode for-loop:

svn co $REPO/myProject workingcopy
cd workingcopy
svn mkdir trunk branches tags
for each $ITEM other than (trunk branches tags) begin
        svn mv $ITEM trunk
end
svn ci -m "Moving entire project into trunk directory"

Yes, you'll want to have everybody with a working copy do a switch to
the new location:

cd workingcopy
svn switch $REPO/myProject/trunk
