Sure!
http://myserver/svn isn't controlled by mod_authz_svn and your
svn-access file but by apache directly. That's because that location
isn't inside a repository.

You have to give read access in your apache conf file for that location
to all your users too. See our docs for an example (or the subversion
book has an example too on how to restrict write access but allow read
access, by using the commands Subversion sends to apache).

If that doesn't work, you should ask on the Subversion mailing list:
this is a server setup issue, not a TSVN one.
