There are SuSe RPMs for javahl and other bindings. Here's a mirror:

http://suse.cs.utah.edu/people/poeml/subversion/9.1-i386/

The problem, according to systems staff here, is that if you install
these, you can't use the automatic upgrade features of SuSe to keep your
packages up-to-date. They're loathe to leave the path of standard
packages. I think the right long-term solution is to have the SuSe folks
include javahl as part of the base packages.
