I may be way off (I've never needed to do what you need to do, so feel free to
ignore me), but wouldn't multiple SVN steps do the trick for you?  E.g.:

   ...
   myStep.addStep(source.SVN(mode="update", svnurl="$SVN_URL/trunk/src",
workdir="<dir>"))
   myStep.addStep(source.SVN(mode="update", svnurl="$SVN_URL/trunk/regress",
workdir="<dir>"))
   ...
