At the server, a 'svnadmin --version' will show you the server version
currently being used (of course, take care that you use the svnadmin
from the installation that is being used to serve the repository, and
not a version that is accidentally in your path).

The working copy version is silently upgraded to the version of the
most recent client that accessed the working copy. AFAIK there is no
way to determine the version that was used to initially perform the
checkout.
