I've not used SVN for some years now nor Vlad the Deployer ever, but I'm using Capistrano / GitHub, and it is possible there using the Capistrano multistage extension. You simply define common parts of the configuration in a common file and any varying configuration parts (including SCM branch, in your case) in the environment-specific config file, and you're off and running.
