Please no. SVN externals are made of pain and fail. It should be obvious why, if you think about it -- the external and local versions are not locked in sync, so you can't get a "known good" configuration when doing e.g. regression testing.
I don't understand the issue in full. I'm not advocating it, just trying to understand the issues. What would happen if the extern definition pointed to a branch on the remote side rather than trunk?
