It may just be a matter of updating svn's bundled copy -- the current neon
release (0.24.7; no kidding) configures and builds fine under Mac OS X. Its
configure script has the necessary code for darwin/rhapsody, you need to
set GXX=yes before running configure. (It looks like a vestigial part of
some backported code in aclocal.m4, but I haven't stared at it in detail.)

In the meantime, if you build neon separately before building svn, it'll be
happy with the existing shared libneon.
