"trunk" is a convention - where you normally have a directory that is
named trunk to separate it from branches and tags that you may create
later. It is good practice (and described in the manual) to create the
trunk/branches/tags directories for each project before adding anything
else. But, that doesn't seem to be related to your immediate problem.

Normally the "?" means that you have a local copy that you created but
didn't use the 'svn add' command to tell subversion about it. If
someone else added them and committed to the repo, you shouldn't have
created a local copy - the update should have brought them in.
