This should work:
svn checkout -N url://to/reposName/trunk
(This will checkout all the files but none of the directories.)
cd trunk
svn up project1Dir project2Dir
(This will bring in just those directories that you specify.)
(It's a single working copy and you can do commits across all of it
all at once, just like you want.)
In Subversion 1.5, I believe there will be a different way to handle
this (sparse directories feature).
