It seems that's not possible currently (I've checked with some other
devs on #svn-dev on freenode IRC). There are some httpd modules that
support injecting "environment variables" (in the httpd definition of
that term [1]), but mod_dav_svn doesn't. If you need this, this would
have to be discussed / developed as a new feature, I believe. If
you're interested in that, you're very welcome to drive such a feature
(starting by discussing what it should look / behave like). We're
always looking for new contributors ;-).
One other suggestion that came from Stefan Sperling on IRC was:
"ephemeral properties". These are some properties that are
automatically injected by mod_dav_svn as special properties in a
transaction, available in the pre-commit hook, but automatically
removed when the transaction gets promoted to a revision. Currently
there are two such properties:
svn:txn-client-compat-version
svn:txn-user-agent
See svn_props.h [2].
But I'm guessing those two existing properties are not sufficient for you.
