SVN 1.6 allows you to do:

$ svn up --accept=mine

Which is probably close to what he is asking. The problem is that
option only applies when there are conflicts. If you are previewing
an update and decide that you just want to keep your local version in
favor of the repository then this option would only have an impact if
svn could not update the local copy without conflicts.
