Hi again,
just to close my own query and report on the solution strategy:
After I had installed the binary svn-1.1 (as explained below), I have
converted all my svn repositories as decribed here:
http://subversion.tigris.org/faq.html#bdb-fsfs-convert
Now they don't use the Berkeley database anymore.
Once this was done, I have upgraded svn (by installing the latest
svn-ssl 1.2.3 via fink). All is working well now.
Thanks to everybody who has helped somehow with this.
