You could use an LD_PRELOAD library to intercept the open calls and
change /dev/random into /dev/urandom, this can also be used if you
want to use installed APR that is configured to use /dev/random.
Something like:

/*
  Compile like so:
    gcc -rdynamic -fPIC -O2 -Wall -shared -o libxxxx.so xxxx.c -ldl
  Use like so:
    (export LD_PRELOAD=$PWD/libxxxx.so; make svnserveautocheck)
*/
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <dlfcn.h>
#include <string.h>

int open(const char *pathname, int flags, mode_t mode)
{
        static int (*libc_open)(const char *, int, mode_t) = NULL;
        if (!libc_open) {
                void *handle = dlopen("libc.so.6", RTLD_LAZY);
                if (!handle) {
                        fprintf(stderr, "%s\n", dlerror());
                        exit(1);
                }
                dlerror();
                libc_open = dlsym(handle, "open");
                char *error = dlerror();
                if (error || !libc_open) {
                        fprintf(stderr, "%s\n", error ? error : "null!!");
                        exit(1);
                }
        }
        if (!strcmp(pathname, "/dev/random"))
                pathname = "/dev/urandom";
        return libc_open(pathname, flags, mode);
}
