Wait, what?  You know you can use it over SSH just like CVS?  Add a group for 
the version control users on the server, create the repo, and chgrp the 
repository, mode g+w for files and g+ws for the directories.  Then just "svn 
co svn+ssh://servername/var/svn/reponame/" to check it out using SSH.

This was, once they switched from the bsddb backend to fsfs, one of the 
primary reasons I switched to SVN.  It closely matches CVS, which I'm happy 
with, but has lots of good additional features.

You don't have to set up any of the fancy mod_svn mechanisms, you can just use 
SSH for access which is pretty secure.  Do you not want user accounts on the 
version control server, or...?
