If three of those have crept in while you were getting around to it you could 
write

svn diff -rCOMMITTED-3:COMMITTED myfile

Are you suggesting that the arithmetic would not operate on the raw  
revision number, but it would be smart enough to go back, in your  
example, over the three previous changes to that file?  Remember that  
the revision number will get bumped by changes to other files, so
-rCOMMITTED-3:COMMITTED might yield exactly the same diff as - 
rPREV:COMMITTED if we are taking about revision numbers.
