How much trouble would it be to encrypt them and then have the server accept an encrypted version of the password? It would be really cool if companies could install their pgp key on their subversion server in order to do the encryption.

I have a job opportunity for you:

look what ssh-agent and ssh-add does, implement something like that as
svn-agent and svn-add, teach svn something like

[auth]
store-password = agent

and your problem is gone.
I'm sure the svn community will accept patches.
