You shouldn't be compiling apr 1.0 against *any* version of Subversion.
Yes, it's possible. But no, it shouldn't be done. You should build
rebuild svn 1.0.7 using the apr that ships in the 1.0.7 tarball, or, if
not possible, use the apr that ships in apache-2.0.51.
apr 1.0 breaks binary compatibility with apr 0.9.x, and thus violates
Subversion's own compatibility rules. Our guarantee is that subversion
1.x will always work with subversion 1.y, which will always work with
the apr/apr-util shipped in apache-2.0.x, which means only apr-0.9.5
and later. And, in a separate parallel universe, apache-2.1 uses
apr-1.x, and is binary incompatible with older apr's. That means that
in order to keep subversion's compatibility policy, it cannot use
apache-2.1 or apr-1.x until subversion 2.0 is released.

Subversion 1.1.0 is due out this month. There have been 3 release
candidates over the last two months. So keep your eyes peeled for
announcements.
