Yes, support for Cyrus SASL authentication is already integrated into
Subversion /trunk, and will hopefully make it into the next minor
release (1.5.0). Cyrus SASL supports several password-checking
mechanisms that use encrypted passwords, such as:

- GSSAPI (Kerberos)
- authentication mechanisms that use non-plaintext secrets, such as
OTP (One-time Passwords) or SRP (Secure Remote Password)
- PAM, /etc/shadow (however this would also require SSL support,
otherwise the password _transmission_ wouldn't be secure)
