I have a revision that has been committed to SVN trunk which I would like to roll back. However, I would like to retain the changes in some fashion such as a branch or even a patch file. Any suggestions?

Reverse-merge (I think that was the term), commit and that’s all.
For the ‘reverse-merge’ part – TSVN has this cool feature called ‘Revert to this revision’ (and ‘Revert changes from this revision’), accessible through the Log dialogue.
The main purpose of a VCS is to keep history of your changes. You could always go back to this particular revision by using ‘Update to revision…’ or by using the aforementioned ‘shortcuts’.
