$ svn info foo
svn: The node '/home/stsp/svn/svn-trunk/foo' was not found.
$ echo $?

Right now, you can look for a .svn directory. But that will likely
stop working once working copy meta data is centralised at the working
copy root, or even at a single arbitrary location. For the latter case,
new commands will be added to register/unregister working copies with
a meta data store, and possibly list known working copies. But I don't
think anyone knows yet what these commands will look like.
So, this is easy right now, but will get harder in the future.
