If you have ssh access, you can run svnserve over ssh. See
http://svnbook.red-bean.com/svnbook/ch06s03.html#svn-ch-6-sect-3.3 for
details, it's quite easy.

Why not just make one directory structure, containing /tags,
/branches, and /trunk, put your project sources in /trunk, and import
it all at once? Or import your existing sources, then use svn mkdir to
create tags, branches, trunk, and svn move to move the sources into
trunk.
