Here's a question: is there any chance the the freebsd port is using
APR 1.0, rather than 0.9.5?

Either of those versions of APR will work with Subversion, though
Subversion technically only claims to use 0.9.5. But the problem is
that the two versions of APR are binary-incompatible. I've seen a lot
of strange svn bugs lately, and many of them happen when somebody was
using Subversion with APR 0.9.5, then quietly (or unintentionally)
upgrades to APR 1.0.

In other words, it's safe to *start* using Subversion for the first
time with either APR 0.9.5 or 1.0. But it's not safe to switch horses
mid-stream.
