There are two ways to do this.

1.  You can use vendor branches in subversion.  More info from the svn 
book: http://svnbook.red-bean.com/en/1.1/ch07s05.html

2.  Look at using svk <http://svk.elixus.org/>.  This will let you take 
a copy of the typo trunk and carry on checking in your own changes as 
well.  You'll still be able to separate out the two.

I've just switched from vendor branches to svk and I really recommend it 
<http://happygiraffe.net/blog/archives/2006/07/30/typo-4-0ish>.  svk can 
be a pain to install, as it has a lot of dependencies, but if you're on 
Debian or FreeBSD, it's prepackaged anyway.  But I did have real 
troubles maintaining a vendor branch using svn.
