I think you can keep the version number in the pom (there's a <version> element at the top).
It is pretty easy to access the POM version from Ant; from there you can create a file containing the version number, and have Clojure read that file at startup. However, this starts getting into the world of requiring the Maven Ant Tasks JAR to be present in order for the build to work. Just check it into Subversion, I say. An additional request: have the REPL display the version number at startup.
