Sure. Subversion either runs on port 80 when exposed
as a WebDAV server, port 3690 when running "svnserve"
or port 22 when accessed via ssh. Choose one that
doesn't conflict.
Subversion doesn't require installation in any
particular place, so you shouldn't have too many
conflicts on the filesystem either.

Compared to Clearcase? Not at all. Subversion only
compares to clearcase when you're using snapshot views,
Subversion doesn't really have a dynamic view equivalent.
In addition, Subversion only sends deltas (differences)
over the wire for commit and update operations.
Many operations can be done locally without contacting
the server at all.

Subversion memory requirements are not high, but I
don't believe anyone has really done any measurements
yet. It seems to be mostly affected by operating system
caching ability (so, as usual, the more memory, the
faster it'll be).

If you use the "fsfs" backend, you can store a Subversion
repository database on a remote volume just fine, so long
as it supports POSIX locking.
If you're on a Unix-style machine, just make sure it's
mounted somewhere and that's it, nothing special.

Naturally, I assume you realise that Clearcase load
will affect Subversions performance?
Make sure you read over http://www.svnbook.org/
