Have you looked at CollabNet Desktop or Subclipse (if you're using
Eclipse already), or svnX?

Managing WCs on network drives isn't limited by Subversion itself, but
rather some other external factors. Permissions are one, but that's
probably not going to come up much in your usage. The other is
platform-specific settings, like svn:eol-style. If you set that to
native, then when you check out on MacOS, you'll get LF EOL markers,
but most Windows apps expect CRLF as that's what's native to Windows
(non-crap Windows editors can handle this though).
It's easier to just not tempt fate & keep things local.
Then there's the whole deal with Windows being case-insensitive for
filenames, and MacOS sometimes being case-sensitive and sometimes
insensitive.
