Do you always checkout a complete source or ports tree?

Maybe svn update --accept X, for some useful value of X is what you 
want?

According to PDF manual for svn 1.7, page 251, physical PDF page 272, 
X can be one of:

postpone (p)
Take no resolution action at all and instead allow the conflicts to be 
recorded for future resolution.

edit (e)
Open each conflicted file in a text editor for manual resolution of 
line-based conflicts.

launch (l)
Launch an interactive merge conflict resolution tool for each 
conflicted file.

base
Choose the file that was the (unmodified) BASE revision before you 
tried to integrate changes from the server into your working
copy.

working
Assuming that you've manually handled the conflict resolution, choose 
the version of the file as it currently stands in your
working copy.

mine-full (mf)
Resolve conflicted files by preserving all local modifications and 
discarding all changes fetched from the server during the operation
which caused the conflict.

theirs-full (tf)
Resolve conflicted files by discarding all local modifications and 
integrating all changes fetched from the server during the operation
which caused the conflict.

mine-conflict (mc)
Resolve conflicted files by preferring local modifications over the 
changes fetched from the server in conflicting regions of
each file's content.

theirs-conflict (tc)
Resolve conflicted files by preferring the changes fetched from the 
server over local modifications in conflicting regions of
each file's content.
