Just so I understand this, does it mean that any one individual
file from the N I'm importing cannot be more than 2GB, or does it
mean that the total size of all N files that I'm importing cannot
be more than 2GB.

I'm not sure if this is the problem -- for one, the import did seem to
go through *once*, though we ended up importing some of the subversion's
.svn directories in there as well. Also, I forgot to mention that we did
try to check in the files after just creating the repo instead of
importing them in, but with the same hang -- this was done over http,
not using file:// over NFS, and I don't know just what version of APR
was subversion compiled with.

OK, we're going to give this one more try -- we'll create a new repository
with just the tags, branches, and trunk directories in there, check out
trunk, svn add directories, and check them in. Just to eliminate Apache
out of the picture, we'll do this using the file:// URL and see if that
works any better.
