If you need a specific set of property changes in your tag, you
can create a working copy which contains the necessary changes
and then copy this working copy to a tag.

  svn co trunk-url working-copy
  cd working-copy
  svn propedit/propset svn:externals ...
  svn cp . ^/tags/1.0.0

We cannot automate details of everybody's build processes in SVN. Sorry.
