I'm not sure if it's really worth pursuing Subversion in this regard.
Linux kernel development, as I understand it, is very hierarchical,
which makes it a good fit for Bitkeeper. Subversion makes a better fit
for projects like the *BSDs, which have a mostly equal group of
developers working on a central repository.
I also don't think of it as a great travesty that Bitkeeper is being
used for Linux kernel development. Users are certainly no worse off
than they were before any kind of source control system was in use.
