Short answer - no way

Longer answer - Subversion have good natural way from revision to property (and value), but not in inverse way, at least without a lot of handwork. SVN Book specially note it

For all their utility, Subversion properties — or, more accurately, the available interfaces to them — have a major shortcoming: while it is a simple matter to set a custom property, finding that property later is a whole different ball of wax.

Trying to locate a custom revision property generally involves performing a linear walk across all the revisions of the repository, asking of each revision, “Do you have the property I'm looking for?” Use the --with-all-revprops option with the svn log command's XML output mode to facilitate this search.

...

Trying to find a custom versioned property is painful, too, and often involves a recursive svn propget across an entire working copy.
