On checking out a very large svn repository I would like to throttle the bandwidth used by an svn client as to not impact a very sensitive network. Is this configurable within svn? Is this configurable in some other way?

It’s not configurable within SVN. You can (with pain) handle this by running the SVN connection through a bandwidth-throttled (virtual) router, such as DummyNet on FreeBSD. You can also route the traffic through an HTTP proxy such as Squid that can limit bandwidth, or use built-in Linux iptables functions (using “tc” for Traffic Control) to limit bandwidth, but this is often not easy to configure/use.
