Only if you compile the complete source of Subversion for the client. But
I hope that there will be compiled libraries to link to for clients. And
then
you would need not just one but many many header files to include
(and look through if you don't use C or C++ and can't include those headers
directly)

I don't want the user to enter those every time, but once. And then store
those during a whole session.
And if you don't want to use those, like you mentioned above: "You
can always set the <replace baton with authentication> to NULL if
you don't want to use it.
