Another way is to use the .ssh/config file. Create entries like

host svn1
    Hostname svn.example.com
    Port 80
    ForwardAgent no
    ForwardX11 no

host svn2
    Hostname svn.example.com
    Port 123456
    ForwardAgent no
    ForwardX11 no

And then use svn1 or svn2 for the hostname in the subversion command
line. It's functionally the same as the alternate tunnel technique, but
I find it easier to remember this, and easier to type. YMMV.

That said, it would be nice if the svn+ssh URLs followed the fairly
standard :portnum convention.
