Using svn client against vanilla DAV directory

Apologies if this is a FAQ, but I read over the book and couldn't see an
answer.

We are using Subversion with great success. I am attempting to unify our
access to source files (already done) and downloads (currently done with
wget), because we want to further protect our download area and I prefer
the svn login cache to the .wgetrc method. Of course our downloads area
is full of unversioned binary ZIP files.

Is it possible to use the svn client against a regular DAV directory? I
know the easy answer is no, because I set it up and it fails (VCC
property). My question is whether this is an unsolveable problem, or if
a few configuration tweaks makes the whole thing work. Of course I only
want to "co" or "export" these binary files.

If it isn't possible then I can either stick with wget or use DAV with
another client, but having a single client tool would be nice.
