If the external changes with the current transaction I figured I could possibly parse the svnlook diff output, but what if it does not change with the current transaction? I understand that information is kept on the client, so does the client send it to the server? For each external?

Correct. The server is only concerned with the value of the
svn:externals property, the semantics of that property are oblivious
to the server.

Also, it's good practice to describe what you're trying to achieve at
a high-level, not only the particular solution you have in mind right
now. http://s.apache.org/xy-problem
