I'd personally favor putting a (statically-linked) _copy_ of lib2geom in the Inkscape tree for now. The 2geom API will not be entirely stable for a while, so I think it would be best if inkscape and 2geom updates were decoupled for now. Periodically, we can refresh the version of 2geom in the inkscape tree and do any integration work necessary to make Inkscape work with the new version.
Using something like svn:externals is simply a recipe for frequent and arbitrary breakage.
Eventually we should be able to switch to using an installed specific release of lib2geom, once it gets better distributor uptake.
