You can certainly do that -- supply a custom XSLT file as explained above, put your messages into that file. Users will see them when they visit the repository URL in a web browser. Of course, users don't usually access a repository URL in a web browser; they usually do so in a Subversion client. I don't know of any way to supply a custom message to someone using a Subversion client. And of course the above only works if you're serving your repository with Apache. If you're serving it with svnserve, then I have no solution for that either.
