Yes. Native Windows service support will be in 1.4.x.

I haven't used any of those service wrappers myself, but it sounds
like required support DLL's (libapr*.dll, libdb*.dll, libeay32.dll,
ssleay32.dll, intl3_svn.dll, etc.) may be missing or not found in the
same directory as the svnserve.exe or in the SYSTEM path somewhere.
It could also be the service hasn't been configured correctly somehow.
Note also that 1.4.x has native Windows service support built-in to
svnserve.exe -- see:
