I wouldn't expect it to be a problem. You should be able to use any
Subversion client you want, even use multiple clients on the same
working copy at different times, provided they all use compatible
versions of the Subversion libraries. (For example, if one of your
clients uses Subversion 1.5 libraries, then you can't mix that with
clients using earlier Subversion libraries.) It just depends on which
client provides the features you need for the task you're trying to
accomplish.
