In my case:

% ldd /usr/local/bin/svn| grep apr
        libaprutil-0.so.9 => /usr/local/lib/apache2/libaprutil-0.so.9 (0x2817b000)
        libapr-0.so.9 => /usr/local/lib/apache2/libapr-0.so.9 (0x28389000)

According to the ports Makefile[1], if you select the WITH_MOD_DAV_SVN
option (as I have done), you get the APR that comes with apache (2.0.52
in my case).

Unfortunately, I've just attempted a debug build of subversion and that
works without error, which is most irritating.
