If you don't end up wanting to use svnmucc you can do this clientside
with a non-recursive checkout of tags. The pain will be in copying
all of f1 and f2 locally (effectively checking them out).

$ svn co -N svn://server/repo/tags
$ svn mkdir tags/NewTag
$ svn cp svn://server/repo/path/to/f1 tags/NewTag/f1
$ svn cp svn://server/repo/path/to/f2 tags/NewTag/f2
$ svn commit -m "Tag 'NewTag' created from .../path/to/f1 and
.../path/to/f2" tags

or something like that.

PS. I'd find out the HEAD rev and explicitly use it in the copy of f1
and f2 so that they are at the same rev.
