I don't think there is any major reason why the following single repos
wouldn't do the trick:

/--
  |-bioperl-live
  |     |--- trunk
  |     |--- branches
  |     |--- tags
  |
  |-bioperl-run
        |--- trunk
        |--- branches
        |--- tags

Any reason why this couldn't be used?

I know some people don't like the idea of the revision number
incrementing for the whole repository if it contains several "projects".
However, revision numbers are really only a way for svn to keep track of
things and a very large revision number shouldn't really "upset" anyone.
