Yes, I think so.

I haven't used git-svn in years, but the manpage says:
--preserve-empty-dirs
Create a placeholder file in the local Git repository for each
empty directory fetched from Subversion. This includes directories
that become empty by removing all entries in the Subversion
repository (but not the directory itself). The placeholder files
are also tracked and removed when no longer necessary.
