If someone wanted this and came up with an 'svn:externals-foreign' (or
svn:foreign-externals?) API of some sort, perhaps someone could get
figure out a mechanism for coding the steps needed to check out and
update those repositories, If so, an 'svn:foreign-externals' system
could be generically created (and probably have the backend commands
filed in for git, bz, cvs, etc..). Granted: it would depend on the
proper executables for the foreign vcs to be present, but it would be
generic and allow people to link to any vcs repository.

It is currently not possible, there is currently no feature request about it in the issue tracker, and to my knowledge nobody has attempted to write any code to implement it. So I would not expect Subversion to gain this feature soon.
