And it figures I would find the solution right after I post to the
list... seems the 'Alias' line needs to be:

Alias /repos/ /var/securewww/repos/

Guess for SVN to correctly get to the repository, the trailing slashes
are required. Guess my next question is which piece of the puzzle does
the actual lookup (and handling of redirects if necessary) of the
resource requested?
