It could look like this:

mysql/trunk
mysql/repos/mysql/extra-{i686,x86_64}
mysql/repos/mysql-clients/extra-{i686,x86_64}
mysql/repos/mysql-libs/extra-{i686,x86_64}
mysql-clients -> mysql
mysql-libs -> mysql

According to Subversion FAQ, we can use symlinks on Unix, but I don't 
know if that will work properly with the websvn stuff.

This way, our repository scripts would not need much work and we can 
still upload the packages separately if we like.
