Not with Subversion 1.6 because it always diffs copies against their source. So you can see modifications you've made after copying, but you cannot make the copied file appear like an added file in the diff. In 1.7 there will be a new option which instructs svn diff to show a copy just like it would show an added file. This option is currently called --show-copies-as-adds but this name might change before release if we can come up with a better name. There is a short name for the option as well, currently --sca.
