Yes, if you setup a local svnserve or Apache instance that is
pointing at your local svk repo, which is just a local subversion
repo...

In the interests of full disclosure, I've not actually done this
myself, but it is just a matter of doing the right configuration...
(waving hands frantically :)

I'll play a bit on my home system tonight to see if I can do this
without substantial pane and post my results...
