From Apache 2.0.x installed with Solaris 10.

From Solaris 10 (I just hate the way the install n-copies of the same thing).

Looks strange, did you install the expat-1.95.5 package from Sunfreeware? If
that one doesn't include the library then the subversion package is bad indeed,
should report it to Steve Christensen.

Subversion should work with any of the installed libraries, you could just
create a symlink (ln -s /usr/sfw/lib/libexpat.so.0.5.0
/usr/local/lib/libexpat.so.1) while you can get the correct expat package.
