You mean when you update your working copy?

Ah yes. That's very possible. Everywhere in your repository where you
have an svn:externals definition, you will need to change it to point
it to the new repository URL.
In fact, Subversion 1.5 includes a relative URL format for externals
(actually several relative URL formats) so that it's no longer
necessary to include the URL to the repository in the externals
definition. If you are using 1.5 or can upgrade to it, this may be
what you really want to do.
Or, if you just want to get rid of the externals entirely, you can do
that too. You will still need to manually figure out all the
directories on which you set svn:externals, and then use svn propdel
to delete that property.
