The magic phrases/keywords are "release management" and
"svn:externals". A quick search yields, e.g.,
http://frozentux.blogspot.com/2008/10/new-subversion-structure-using.html
which seems to describe exactly what you are looking for. (It's not
perfect, you shouldn't use svn:externals pointing to another trunk,
i.e. always point to a specific revision or a tag, but it should give
you at least 90% of the answer; all that's left is a bit more research
on the best practices of svn:externals.)

Cheers,
Hilco
