You can lock your files by explicitly calling the lock command. The
update command can't do it for you. So, you and your team mates will
have to remember to explicitly lock the binary files before change
them.

My apologies, I may have confused you. Authorization (per-directory)
can only be done with Apache. svnserve don't have any mechanism to do
fine-grained authorization. But authentication (which is what you
want) can be done with svnserve using a unique password file. I did a
test here and it worked fine. Under your repository's directory there
is a conf directory which contains a file called svnserve.conf. You
can put there the location of your password file which can be placed
into another directory (probably you will want to place it out of your
repo's directory). Your svnserve.conf file should look like this:

[general]
anon-access = none
auth-access = write
password-db = path/to/password/file

Hope this helps,
