just some examples:
# suse
$ startproc -u svn -g svn -e /usr/bin/svnserve -d -r /srv/svn/repositories

# debian
$ start-stop-daemon --start --chuid svn --group svn --exec /usr/bin/svnserve -- -d -r /srv/svn/repositories

# general
sudo -u svn "/usr/bin/svnserve -d -r /srv/svn/repositories"

i think this are enough solutions which all work.
