Haven't used any remote interface for svn except SmartSVN and liked it so much I bought a license!

Sounds like you are looking for TortoiseSVN.

This is what I'd do. There also isn't a need for any kind of VPN mumbo
jumbo either. Have the server auto checkout /released and /trunk from
the repository, and serve those working copies as two different vhosts.
That way the developers can commit changes to /trunk, and pull up the
test vhost in their web browser to test, and then merge into released to
push it live.
Give them TortoiseSVN and show them how to use it, and they can access
the server via https.
I'm no sure what you mean by round trip twice. Small updates and
commits should be plenty quick.
