You got no answer because currently there is no way to do it.

All I'm saying is that if the Win32 service code requires the ability
to shut down svnserve gracefully, then that feature should be added in
such a way that it can be used on systems other than Win32. You seem
to have gone through a great deal of trouble to peek under the covers
of APR and insert a platform specific hack to make this work, what I
would prefer would be to avoid the need to do that and just make the
(maybe fairly small) change to svnserve itself to make it possible to
shut it down via a signal or something.
