You should be able to setup an empty folder by checking out a folder then create, add and commit the new directory. Not sure what protocol and client you're using but from the command line with http:

> svn checkout http://server/repo/
A    repo/trunk
A    repo/branches
A    repo/tags
Checked out revision 1.
> cd repo/trunk
> mkdir project
> svn add project
A    project
> svn commit -m ""
Adding         trunk/project
Committed revision 2.
> echo done
done
