Meaning what exactly? That apache and subversion work if
you run them using:

1. apache
2. apache -k start

or just that nothing bad happens if your don't start apache2
at all? :)

What are the contents of the Apache error log in this case?

This is a clue that you might not have placed all of the
subversion specific modules into the apache2 modules dir
on the server.

What are the contents of your httpd.conf file, both
from when it does work as a service, and when it
does not?
