Well I tend to keep server related things per service.

Some configs for vsftpd, dhcpd, apache2, qmail, kernel-configs,
/var/supervise (for daemontools related scripts), courier-imap ...

Then I might have branches per host (branches/www13.tar.bz, branches/www.example.com, etc.)
and try to stay in sync at all branches and trunk.

My $HOME and /root is mostly in subversion as well.
