I read that Berkeley DB repos should never be used with *any* sort of
network shares not just windows. Even the other format (FSFS) is best
hidden away behind a server and not just shared on the network - it
protects against viruses and accidental user damage, aswell as the
obvious security implications.

No, using file:// implies the client directly talks to the repos - and
that *would* require file sharing for network use, but file protocol is
not recommended for network access although this has nothing to do with
whether or not you're using Berkeley DB - I think you've made a false
association due to separate warnings about file sharing.

svn://server/repos/project/trunk
(substitute server and repos with the real names - you can also use an
ip address if that's easier)
You could test svnserve on your local PC without using the network:
svn://localhost/repos/project/trunk
You don't need to do anything to the repos to tell it how you're going
to access it (file vs svn vs http) or what its URL is - that's all down
to your server and network configuration.
If you have existing working copies you can "relocate" them to the new
URL from the TSVN context menu.
