Upgrade to at least Subversion 1.5 on the client, which supports
relative externals.

http://subversion.tigris.org/svn_1.5_releasenotes.html#externals

Dump your repository, then change the absolute externals you have now
into relative externals using svndumptool.

http://svn.borg.ch/svndumptool/

Then load the modified dump into your new empty repository.

All users should delete their working copies and check out new ones.
