Yes it can, at Opened Hand we use svn_maillog and some magic in the
postcommit hook:

#!/bin/sh
REPOS="$1"
REV="$2"
svn_maillog "$REPOS" "$REV" "commits o-hand com" "commits o-hand com"
"Diffs at http://svn.o-hand.com/view/matchbox?rev=$REV&view=rev";

Picking a random revision, say 123, gives this:

http://svn.o-hand.com/view/matchbox?rev=123&view=rev

Pretty cool, it must be said.
