I can't comment on the Apache stuff, but I can comment on the following.

/etc/subversion/config is used by subversion clients, and since you don't have
one, they won't look at it. Can you log into the machine that hosts the
repository? I imagine if it has the server, it probably has the command line
client.

As for the documentation, you're correct. Someone recently posted a patch for
that and has been fixed in trunk/.

It looks like you probably have the command line client. You should give it a
try.
