If you are using the command line, the typical method is to do a "reverse merge". For example, if version 125 was the checkin that deleted the directory, then you would execute a command like this: svn merge -r 125:124. This will cause subversion to pull the directory out of the history and drop it into the working copy. Once you verify that everything is correct, you can issue a commit and put the directory back into subversion.
