Yes, but it is specific to a particular filesystem instance.
If you dump/load the repository all IDs will change.

svn_fs_paths_changed2() declared in include/subversion/svn_fs.h
provides the IDs for changed paths in a particular revision.

An ID is represented as an opaque object svn_fs_id_t.
The contents of this object depend on the filesystem backend used.
There are a few functions to operate on svn_fs_id_t, such as
svn_fs_unparse_id().

It's unclear what purpose you'd like to use these for so it's hard
to give more specific advice.
