Compiling Subversion "just fine" on legacy operating systems is painful, inlcluding RHEL 4 (which contained httpd-2.0.63). The dependencies on more recent versions of Python, neon, and SQlite are awkward to mange. If possible, update to RHEL 5 or CentOS 5 and grab the RPMforge release of subversion-1.6.12. You'll save yourself a lot of pain: I found backporting to RHEL 4 to be a big problem and gave it up as too tough to provide a completely workable install, especially for x86_64, years ago.
