Sure, you can write a pre-commit hook that enforces this restriction.
A quick search on the mailing list shows some methods here you can

http://svn.haxx.se/tsvnusers/archive-2006-04/0427.shtml

On Unix-like OSes it's of course easy too. Get the log message of the
incoming transaction with "svnlook" and pipe it through "wc -c" to
count the characters.
