As mentioned in this SO question (with answers about Xcode's SVN integration), you could still go with the "command-line".

See How to ignore a directory with SVN?

svn propset svn:ignore dirname .

You can see in this Paul Solt's blog entry an example of a new project, managed by XCode, but with a SVN ignore command

Make a project in Xcode and then use Terminal and execute the commands. If you aren’t familar with SVN check out the documentation.

cd LOCAL_PROJECT_PATH
svn mkdir SVN_REPOSITORY_LOCATION/PROJECT_NAME
svn co SVN_REPOSITORY_LOCATION/PROJECT_NAME .
svn add *
svn revert --recursive build
svn ps svn:ignore build .
svn ci

The commands:

• create a folder in your SVN repository.
• Next it checks out the remote repository folder into the local project folder and add all of the project files.
• Once the files are “added” you’ll want to remove the build directory and ignore it from your SVN repository.
• Lastly it’ll commit the changes and your project is in the repository.
