Svn externals to a single file

Is this possible ? 

So I have a directory a and has a file pom.xml in it .. 

Can I have a externals to this single file, from another svn repo as a
part of checkout ...

Or is it possible to atleast somehow say -N in externals defn so we
don't recurssivle checkout the whole module but just a local dir ... 

Thank you very much in advance for your time and help .. 

Regards,
Rajesh

Single file externals are coming in 1.6, but they will only be intra-repository. 
  There is no plan to support -N for directory externals.

No, it's not possible at this time. See this enhancement request:
