Then you'd install svnserve in the default user path and be done with
it.
No piece of Subversion server-side configuration could help the ssh
tunnel command find the svnserve binary, because Subversion doesn't get
a chance to run any code until svnserve starts. What we are talking
about is a piece of client-side configuration to specify the path to
svnserve. Since you, the sysadmin, most likely cannot "add a line to
the global config file" for all clients, such a thing wouldn't help you,
and you wouldn't need help anyway since you have power over both the
default user path and the contents of the directories within it.
The use case we're really worried about here is a user setting up
Subversion in his or her homedir and accessing it from elsewhere. If
the default user path does not include anything in the user's homedir,
and openssh makes it difficult to change that path when a command is
specified, then the current state of affairs makes life inconvenient for
such a user.
