What problems? I built it OK on Solaris 10.
I might have disabled some parts (don't recall now)
as we only use the svn:// access method.
We run a Solaris x86 server and mainly Linux and Windows clients, but
I do use the Solaris command line client occasionally and it works
fine.

You might find the http://blastwave.org packaging easier to handle
than using sunfreeware.com. The http://blastwave.org subversion package
will probably still be built with everything enabled, but it will
also download and install the the prerequisits automatically for you.
You need to start by downloading pkg-get from that site, which then
drives the rest of the process. Blastwave packages are all installed
into /opt/csw which is a path Sun have reserved for community software.
I find Blastwave packages are usually better built and more up-to-date
than the sunfreeware.com packages, and the auto-installation of all
dependances is a really big plus, although I haven't actually tried
their subversion package as I built my own.
