Sane network security policies block everything, especially non-standard ports, by default.

VisualSVN Server is just a distribution of Subversion bundled with Apache, a nice installer, and an MMC snap-in for server administration. Under the hood, it's still the same Subversion. It should support multiple access methods just fine.
