AFAIK until now nobody has investigated on how to get mod_dav_svn.so
building in the "subversion" package. Feel free to come up with a
"with_dav" build-time option which provides this functionality in a
portable way.
But in practice you usually don't need mod_dav_svn.so: for commit access
via svn://<hostname> one can just run the plain "svnserve" (which is
supported out-of-the-box by the "subversion" package) and for Web
browsing via http://<hostname> one can install "cvstrac" (the cool
application you see running under cvs.openpkg.org, too) which also just
fine supports Subversion repositories (actually it works with Subversion
even better as with CVS due to the global revisions in Subversion ;-)
