Use svn:externals to check them out inside your tree, then include those
directories in the 'develop' line in buildout.cfg.

(And if you want your users, i.e., people who easy_install xlutils from
PyPI, to get trunk checkouts from xlrd and xlwt, then you want the wrong
thing and should reconsider.)
