By my reading of the red book, I don't believe there is anything you can do
to avoid it.

Without the "eol-style" property set, subversion accepts whatever style of
line endings are in the file - so if a windoze user adds the file then they
will be CRLF - if its unix, then just LF. Adding an "eol-style" property of
"native" to an existing artifact is going to cause subversion to change any
line endings that are not "LF". Therefore, I believe that if setting this
property causes a load of changes its because of what line endings are
already in the repository.

I tried a quick search of the subversion user list, but didn't find anything
useful on this:
http://dir.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.subversion.user
http://subversion.tigris.org/servlets/ProjectMailingListList
