If your repo server is the same server as the web server, could you not just use a post commit hook to do the update? And if it is a different server, perhaps the post commit hook can run a remote shell to the web server through ssh and execute svn update?

My needs are identical to yours and the advice below is what I do,
except I ssh in and svn update manually. I have as a low priority task
(that I'll probably never get to) to write a php script that exec()'s
svn that I'll protect with an .htaccess file so that I can skip the ssh.
It may not seem to be a big deal, but I have other "devs" (I use the
term loosely) that occasionally commit changes, and ssh and a command
line are beyond them. It would be nice to be able to send them to a
URL, login and click in a link.
From time to time I've looked for an "svn web client" that has
checkout/update control, but haven't found anything that will work with
apache 1.3x and php4.
If you want to write something to do this automatically, I'd love to
have a copy.
Come to think of it, maybe we can just cron svn update?
