This is my configure options:

<snip>
../configure --prefix=/home/stylesen/subversion-dev/builds/svn-1.6.1
--enable-maintainer-mode --with-ssl --with-neon=/usr/local/neon-0.28.2
--with-apxs=/usr/local/httpd-2.2.10/bin/apxs --disable-mod-activation
--enable-javahl --with-jdk=/usr/lib/jvm/java-6-openjdk
--with-apr=/usr/local/apr-1.3.3 --with-apr-util=/usr/local/apr-util-1.3.4
--with-sqlite=/usr/local/sqlite-3.5.9
--with-junit=/usr/share/java/junit-3.8.2.jar --with-gnome-keyring
</snip>

I use the same for building 1.6.1 but with a different prefix.

In trunk after r37322, it will not pop up the GUI, but puts a command line
prompt (as shown in my sample run above). This prompt function should be
provided by different clients via the API.

I am thinking about a much better way which will use GNOME's password prompting
GUI when it is available, if not fall back to the prompt function provided by
the client if any.
