Not only is there no post-checkout hook [1] but hooks run on the
server, and it sounds like you are asking for hook that runs on the
client. No Subversion hooks currently run on the client, so this
would be much work to implement. And I believe that because of
potential platform differences and differences in installed scripting
languages on clients, client-side hooks are a very prickly proposition.

Sounds like you should just be writing a wrapper script to go around
"svn checkout", which itself calls svn checkout, then mucks with the
modification dates of the checked-out files in whatever way you like.

[1] I did write a script to implement a post-checkout hook, but it is
a server-side script, of course; it does not do anything on the client:
