Yes. "svnadmin verify".

In many ways, a successful dump is sufficient to indicate integrity.
I'm not sure whether the load step gives you any additional guarantees.

You are correct that svnserve is newer than mod_dav_svn. However,
it has proved to be extremely stable. The codebase has been in
the repository for almost a full year now and there have been very
few problems with it. It is significantly easier to configure and
install than Apache, and has a very low administrative overhead
(usually O(1) in the number of repositories).

Also, it is generally somewhat faster than mod_dav_svn.
