All of the following components are optional: libsvn_fs_base(bdb), libsvn_ra_neon, libsvn_ra_serf, mod_dav_svn(httpd), swig, java, ctypes, kwallet, gnome-keyring. Building the 'tools' makefile target (or VS project) is done by default, but it can be harmlessly left out.

That leaves a client that can talk svn:// and can talk file:// to FSFS repositories.

SQLite, APR, APR-Util are mandatory dependencies.
