You can use the -r parameter on a checkout or update to specify the
revision. You cannot checkout a single file, but you can checkout the
directory it is in with no files and then update just that one file:

$ # Checks out the directory, but with no files
$ svn co -r $rev --depth empty http://svn/repos/project/dir localdir

$ # Now update the file you want
$ cd localdir
$ svn update myfile

Or, you can checkout just a directory, but without the subdirectories:

$svn co -r $rev --depth files http://svn/repos/project/dir localdir
