The format of the underlying BDB is not portable between different systems or
architectures. What is portable is the dumpfile format, see 'svnadmin load'
or 'svnadmin dump'. In other words, you don't need to switch FSFS, you only
need to load a dumpfile (created on the old system) into a fresh repository
on the new system.
