It's hard to diagnose problems without being given explicit error
messages.

I don't use them, but I assume they should work.

That should be sufficient. Given --with-apr=<foo> the script looks for
the file <foo>/bin/apr-config, does this file exist? Can you run

$ <foo>/bin/apr-config --libs

Do you have any other apr-config files in your PATH?

You don't have to build neon within the subversion tree. Can you
configure, build and install neon directly? Is the problem that you
cannot configure neon in the subversion tree, or that you cannot
configure neon at all?

A typo? I assume "./svn/configure" should be "../svn/configure". Add
--with-neon=<foo> if you build and install neon first.
