Actually, I'm pretty sure you can pull out a portion. Assuming your
src was at "netbsd.org:/svn/src", you could do this:

$ svn co http://netbsd.org/svn/src/bin/ls

Since Subversion doesn't have tags, you move between "tags" by
changing your checked-out point in the repository.

Disclaimer: I've only started familiaring myself with Subversion. It
has some good points and some bad (more than likely, I consider some
points "bad" because I'm very comfortable with CVS.)
