One way that has the advantage of not loosing history would just be to make a
trunk directory at the top and move all the existing files and directories
into it, e.g. something like:

$ svn co <repos_url> top
$ cd top
$ svn mkdir trunk
$ for i in *; do svn mv "$i" trunk; done
$ svn mkdir tags branches
$ svn commit -m "Changing repos to trunk/tags/branches style"

There might be a more clever way to do this, but this is simple and easy.
