I have configured Apache 2 under Mac OS X with relative ease using
Fink. The real benefit of accessing your repository through the web
server is the ability to log in from anywhere and browse the contents
of your repository. Then you can pull word or pdf documents for your
client at times when you're caught without your laptop. You can also
grant your client access to the repository without being forced to
create a whole unix account under Mac OS X.
Details here:

I would instal Fink, then using that, install the apache 2 web server
and SVN packages. The apache 2 configuration will co-exist with the
default Mac OS X Client Apache 1.3 server.
It's good you chose FSFS because I had corruption, hanging, and other
problems while using BDB. Once I converted over to FSFS there have
been no further issues. Note, the hanging may have been from the
particular version of Apache 2 I had installed, so I would recommend
getting the very latest release of apache under the "unstable" branch
under fink. You will have to modify /sw/etc/fink.conf to do this.
If you have any questions, feel free to ask.
