No, the only available backends are BerkeleyDB and FSFS, a custom
format designed just for Subversion. FSFS is available since
Subversion 1.1.0 and is the default type for new repositories since
1.2.0 and is recommended. For a rundown of the differences between
BDB and FSFS see here:

I don't have any experience with proxies so I can't answer this.

I don't know CITRIX. If you're talking about authentication here,
then it's useful to know that the different methods you can use to
access a repository support different authentication mechanisms.
Using the file:// protocol, there's no authentication whatsoever, and
you have the permissions available to you through the filesystem, so
that's useful for little more than testing, or for single-developer
installations. svnserve supports a text file into which you can put
users and passwords, and a text file for path-specific access to
parts of the repository for certain users or groups. With the svn
+ssh:// protocol you authenticate with your normal Unix user accounts
on the server. And with the Apache2 server you can use any
authentication mechanism Apache supports. We use Apache to serve our
repository and authenticate with LDAP. If CITRIX can be used with
Apache, then you're in luck.

I don't know what's meant by "terminal servers" or "project handling"...
