Create a file /etc/xinetd.d/svn that has the following contents:

service svn
{
     disable = no
     port = 3690
     socket_type = stream
     protocol = tcp
     wait = no
     user = svn
     server = /usr/bin/svnserve
     server_args = -i -r /myrepo
}

Replace /myrepo with the appropriate directory, of course. And set the
"user" variable to the user who owns the repository directory. Then
restart xinetd with "sudo /etc/init.d/xinetd restart".

You should be good to go.
