That's not possible. Imagine a repo containing trunk, branches and
tags at the top level. You want to serve this via Apache. Your Apache
conf has to look something like this:
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName some.hostname
<Location />
DAV svn
SVNPath /path/to/the/repo
</Location>
</VirtualHost>
And to access the trunk, you have to visit the URL http://
some.hostname/trunk. You cannot point SVNPath at /path/to/the/repo/
trunk because "trunk" is not a repository; it is a path within the
repository.

If your repository contains PHP files, for example, and you want to
see the web site and have the PHP code evaluated, then the above
VirtualHost is not sufficient, because Subversion will show the PHP
source code, and will not pass it back to the Apache PHP module to
have it interpreted.
No, there really are reasons why the FAQ says you need to check out a
working copy and point Apache at that: because that's what works.
