I put the patch shown below to /usr/ports/devel/subversion/files/patch-zz-DAV-robustness.local on my FreeBSD system, and then I reinstalled the port - problem solved. Happy discussions!

May I suggest never simply expanding a comment to take out a chunk of
live code ,such as you've done in your patch? If you have to take out
a chunk of live code, add a *separate* coment about why you're doing
it, and add a distinct set of comment marks around it. This will make
merges *much* cleaner for the future.
