Use the exact same authorization mechanism. For example, something like this:

# Subversion repository
<Location /svn>
    DAV svn
    SVNPath /path/to/repos
    AuthType Basic
    AuthName "Subversion Repository"
    AuthUserFile /usr/local/apache2/conf/svn-auth
    Require valid-user
    AuthzSVNAccessFile /usr/local/apache2/conf/svn-access
</Location>

# ViewSVN
ScriptAlias /viewsvn /path/to/viewcvs.cgi
<Location /viewsvn>
    SVNPath /path/to/repos
    AuthType Basic
    AuthName "ViewSVN"
    AuthUserFile /usr/local/apache2/conf/svn-auth
    Require valid-user
    AuthzSVNAccessFile /usr/local/apache2/conf/svn-access
</Location>
