I have been thinking about this issue my self recently. IMHO it all depends on how you setup the client. If trac exposed a HTTP rich interface (GET/POST/PUT) to tickets then it would be trivial to write a client that utilised this to close/comment on tickets at the time of checkin. Some kind of source-administration client script or something - I don't know, just throwing ideas around here.
The only problem you face with this solution is that the tickets are not really modified at the point of checkin - only very close. The only truly semantic way of doing this that I can imagine is to hold the tickets within the subversion file system (hidden or not) so that modifications of the tickets (transparently via client interface or not) was atomic with the main changeset.
