I don't know of anything for the svn:// protocol, but Apache's ProxyPass
directive should work for https and http.

You would put the something like the following in the proxy server's
httpd.conf file:

LoadModule proxy_module modules/mod_proxy.so
LoadModule proxy_http_module modules/mod_proxy_http.so
#...
ProxyRequests off
ProxyPass /repos http://internal-server/repos
ProxyPassReverse /repos http://internal-server/repos

I just tested this by proxying our in-house repo through my
workstation's instance of apache and it looks like it works for ls, co,
and log. The upside of this method is that you wouldn't even need to
have SVN installed on the proxy machine. There's also no reason why
your internal machine can't serve the same repo with both protocols,
even if the proxy is the only client that uses the http:// protocol.
