Not that I'm aware of. The svn:external is a property of the working
copy itself, so any update will replace any smart trick you could pull
to switch to a different path.

Is there some reason you can't use http:// for the svn:external path?
If you are concerned about making this a publicly accessible link, you
could bind to localhost only (since it appears from context that the
repository is local to the production server at least).

Is there some reason you can't install a version of svn that supports
client-ssl on the production server (note that you could install it into
a non-path'd location, so only the production instance would see that)?
