Is there anyway to use SVN's import command to get you 80% of
the way there?  See, for example,

  http://subversion.tigris.org/faq.html#in-place-import

Or, some combination of `cp` and `svn diff`? E.g.,

   svn co working_copy
   cp -r unversioned working_copy
   svn diff > patch
   [process the patch results]

or perhaps some sort of inverse, e.g.,

  U_DIRS=`find unversioned -type d`
  U_FILES=`find unversioned -type f`
  svn co working_copy
  cd working_copy
  S_DIRS=`find . \( -name .svn -prune \) -o -type d -print`
  S_FILES=`find . \( -name .svn -prune \) -o -type f -print`
  svn rm --force [ S_DIRS - U_DIRS ]
  svn rm --force [ S_FILES - U_FILES ]
  cp -r unversioned/* .
  svn ci -m'To sync with unversioned.'
