Aha! Thanks very much Fred, this arrived just after I sent a message asking for confirmation of exactly that :-) Looks like it's the standard 3690 port, I'll go talk to our poor beleaguered admins... thanks again! -PW Fred Drake said:

One thing Tino suggested: it might be a firewall issue. Does svn's externals-fetching look somehow different to a firewall than does a regular (non-external) checkout? When I tried checking out on my laptop, I noticed that ZoneAlarm asked 'me if I wanted to allow svn.exe to use the internet at exactly the moment that it was time to fetch the externals. Weird - doesn't it still use ssh? What's different?
Tino's on the right track; the externals do NOT use ssh; they use an unauthenticated connection and cannot be used to commit changes (by intent).
So it could be a firewall issue; some different port needs to be opened. The Subversion documentation should tell you what's needed.
