If you have *nix Subversion clients, you should have a *nix > based system. Windows can really go either way. Subverison itself is case-sensitive everywhere. You can host a repository on Windows and have files named FooBar.java & foobar.java in the repository, and it won't complain. The problem comes when you *check out* to a case-insensitive system, which you will encounter on Windows & MacOS (although you can avoid it on OS X if you set things up right to get a case-sensitive FS).
