There's an env var, something like ESVN_SERVER, that you can set 
to "offline", and if the ebuild inherits the svn eclass, it won't try 
to checkout new sources.

You'll have to look in the eclass to find the correct name. I looked it 
up only once and noted that it's analogous to ECVS_SERVER (which I use 
often).
