I've not looked at the link but I've been building and maintaining a
Subversion binary for OSX for two years now and this is the script I
successfully use:
http://svnbinaries.open.collab.net/svn/svnbinaries/trunk/packages/osx/build_universal_subversion.sh
Login using guest/guest if you don't have an account on open.collab.net to view.

The reason you're potentially having issues is because Subversion's
deps need to be built with zlib and openssl support to work. Not
knowing how you're building Subversion's deps, I don't want to
speculate. Look at the script I linked to above to see all the places
openssl is configured when building Subversion and its deps. (You
won't see me explicitly specifying zlib all the time because
Subversion and its deps locate Leopard's zlib just fine.)

Subversion isn't configured with the "--with-openssl" option and the
"--with-ssl" option only works if you're using the subversion-deps
tarball and having Subversion build the deps for you.

I can appreciate wanting to build your own binaries but all the work
you're struggling through has already been done by many. The
Subversion binary I maintain might be beneficial to you. It's
universal, built with 32-bit and 64-bit CPU instruction sets and it
includes all Subversion maintained language bindings (Java, Perl,
Python and Ruby), repository data stores (BDB and FSFS) and the server
modules (svnserve and Apache). It's even packaged in a nice Apple
Installer package for easy distribution. Not sure if that is enough
to persuade you but at least I mentioned it. If you're interested,
you can download the binary here:
http://www.open.collab.net/downloads/community/
1.5.5 should be out later today for download.
