Yes, once you get a subversion client you can use then you want to get the
latest versions of subversion and all the other RPMS that go along with it
and bootstrap up to those.
If you run into troubles, let me know. I know about the one problem you
mentioned about the mod_dav_svn.so being installed before the mod_dav.so.
As far as I know, everything else should be good to go. I use it almost
daily. However, if you run into any problems let me know and we'll figure
out what is different and get it fixed ASAP.
