Are you allowed to install software at all? At least in your home
directory? If so, you could have the 'svnserve' program living in your
home directory on the server, and create your repository somewhere in
the home directory as well. Then from your personal machines, you can
have svn+ssh:// urls launch the 'svnserve' process right from the
homedir.
