Having the same need, and using pysvn I get:
try:
inf = client.info2("%s/%s" % (url, sf), recurse=False)
except:
client.mkdir("%s/%s" % (url, sf), "Setting up a root for %s" % sf)
client.mkdir("%s/%s/branches" % (url, sf), "Adding branches")
client.mkdir("%s/%s/tags" % (url, sf), "Adding tags")
client.mkdir("%s/%s/trunk" % (url, sf), "Adding trunk")
I though that was ugly, I wanted to say:
if not client.is_url("%s/%s" % (url, sf)):
client.mkdir("%s/%s" % (url, sf), "Setting up a root for %s" % sf)
...
But that doesn't work, since is_url returns True if the first part of
url matches a repository.
In the shell you'll have to settle for return codes.
Would it be better to have a special command, instead of using a side
effect of the info-command?

In the case of the OP there is only need to check one url a time.
This ought to be a common need.
If only one url is given and that one doesn't exist, then it ought to
be ok with an error. Wouldn't it?
This could be extended to: Fail if all targets are missing.
