Yes, this is quite possible. It's not quite as clean and smooth as CVS' modules support was, which is a continuing source of annoyance to me about SVN, but it's not too terribly painful either. Just the usual svn:externals properly on the php-src branches pointing to whereever the tests end up will do nicely.
