Thanks to Toshio and John for their input. Now that I've got a
client built on AIX that appears to work thus far, I will be taking a
more in-depth look at setting up the server. (No client on AIX would
have been a show-stopper in my situation.)

I'm not too terribly worried about building on Linux as I realize that
that platform gets the most exercise by developers. It is worth noting
that I don't have root on these RedHat boxes which I need to use, so
RPMs aren't useful to me and I cannot do anything that requires root.

I will be building from tarballs and I may well give the Apache/WebDAV
path a try (following John's suggestions). I have built and run Apache
1.3 (on AIX) in the past, so I've some experience as far as that goes.

Over and out for me while I devour the Subversion book.
