The latest versions of git-svn should warn about externals (among some
other things that we currently don't support).  They are logged in
.git/svn/$refname/unhandled.log with newlines (and some other
characters) URI-encoded out.  I've been planning on having something
parse the unhandled.log but have not gotten around to it.

I'm still waiting on subproject support in git to seriously look at
svn:externals; but it's not a high priority for me.  You could probably
look at the code that does 'git svn show-ignore' which reads the
svn:ignore properties and expand it to support svn:externals.
