Does not exist. 

*One* way you can use it is by accessing the repository through a web
server (http:// and https://) - which makes all the network access stuff
virtually transparent. 

But an equally valid way of accessing a subversion repository is via
their internal protocol (svn://), which can be seamlessly and
effortlessly tunnelled over ssh (svn+ssh://). Or you can neglect a
network layer entirely and just use a repository local to your project
(file://)

The ebuild does more or less assume you're building it to have the
http[s] capability, and so it becomes fairly complex, but there's
nothing that says you have to go that way.
