I can't think of a good reason why that should be so.

I tried a similar command on my Mac (also OS X 10.4, also svn 1.4 via
MacPorts) and the ownership is set correctly.
In your Terminal, you're not by chance logged in as root? You haven't
used "su -" or "sudo -s" to become root, have you? If you had, then
if you were to check out, the files would be owned by root, not your
user.

I don't think it can have anything to do with the server
configuration. This is a client-side issue.
