Last time I tried to get vc-mode working with svn it didn't - but that was some considerable time ago now, so perhaps the psvn currently available works around those problems. From memory, the issue wasn't so much in the file available from SVN but rather that the emacs files had to have some extensive rework before they would work with SVN. The next (released) version of Emacs will have all the appropriate fixes installed - and that release isn't terribly far away. I have been snooping on the developers mailing list and it is definitely on the horizon (although exactly when is always a big question that nobody will answer/commit too! :-)).
The solution I used was to download and build the CVS tip of Emacs - svn access works like a charm then :-) You can access nightly dumps of the CVS archives (assumes that you cannot access the CVS tip directly - I am behind a firewall at work and it won't let me through, so I use the nightly dumps) from http://savannah.gnu.org/cvs-backup/. Then to build from source it depends on what OS you are using - if Windows then you'll need to install cygwin (http://www.cygwin.com/). You will also need some of the MingW tools - I really can't remember exactly what I installed here but if you have a look at http://ourcomments.org/Emacs/w32-build-emacs.html you should be able to muddle through (well I did :-)).
