You can add a section in buildout.cfg like this:

[productcheckouts]
recipe = infrae.subversion
urls =
    <svn url to branch> <name of the product>

and hook that section up in some other parts of buildout.cfg.  So
something like:

===============================================
[buildout]

parts =
    ...
    productcheckouts
...

[instance]
...
products =
    ...
    ${productcheckouts:location}
...

[productcheckouts]
recipe = infrae.subversion
urls =
    https://svn.plone.org/svn/collective/CalendarX/branches/plone-3-compatibility/ CalendarX
# ^^^ This should be on one line
===============================================
