Subversion manages all dates internally as UTC. It's used by teams
spread around the world, so if there was a problem with this, I'm sure
it would have been found by now.

The only place you might have trouble is if you're sharing a WC via
the network between 2 client systems with different timezones set. But
a shared WC is not a supported/recommended configuration in the first
place.
