In short, no.

You can edit the (per user) Subversion configuration and turn on
auto-props. That will allow you have any added files automatically
get whatever default properties you want.

This is not an ideal solution because there's no way to associate this
with a repository: it's a per-user setting - all users need to make
sure their config (UNIX: ~/.subversion/config, Win:
%APPDATA%\Subversion\config) file is edited correctly.

On a per repository basis, you could add a pre-commit hook script that
checks added files for required properties and refuses the commit if
they are not present. This can help to keep things consistent, but I
also think having the ability to set these by repository would be
cleaner.
