There's this:

[alias]
diff = diff --svn

But that will only affect diffs caused with an explicit 'hg diff'.
Diffs generated by other commands (eg 'hg outgoing -p') won't be
affected.

If you do do this, then you might be better off with something like:

[alias]
sdiff = diff --svn

That is, defining a new command, rather than redefining the existing one.
