Thanks! I re-read the documentation and that is what it says.

I was thinking I could convert just a simple SVN branch to a native
Bazaar branch and keep doing svn-import to keep it up to date. I
suppose the error message got me confused.

(Unfortunately it seems that the memory usage of Bazaar and/or
bzr-svn is too high to branch from FreeBSD SVN effectively. I tried
on two different machines but ended up in swapping hell and was
forced to kill the process. I will try to do the initial branching
on a third machine with lots of memory and then move the directory
to my development box where I can hopefully pull in future SVN
changes in smaller chunks and work on my local branches without
memory starvation.)
