Ah, ok, I missed this piece of information: On the FreeBSD server,
you can use file:/// to access the repository on the FreeBSD server.
Then you tried TortoiseSVN on a Windows client and wanted to access
the repo via svn:// and svn+ssh:// and that didn't work.

I don't use Windows, but I assume you would open a DOS prompt and
type "svn <whatever>" or possibly "C:\Path\to\Subversion\svn
<whatever>". But let's not even worry about the Windows machine for
now. Use the terminal of the FreeBSD machine to attempt to connect
via svn:// or svn+ssh:// or both, whichever you want to ultimately use.

You hadn't thus far said what protocol you were using, or whether you
had started svnserve or apache, as appropriate. That's all I meant.
Since you're trying to access via svn://, the svnserve process needs
to be running (or started via inetd, presumably; I'm not very
familiar with inetd). For svn+ssh:// access, you need an ssh server
running (and in this case, no already-running svnserve process will
be used, but rather, svn will start an svnserve process as you log in
via ssh, and will end the process when it's done). Obviously you'll
also need your firewall configured to allow traffic on the ports
svnserve (3690) or ssh (22) uses, depending on which protocol you'll
use.

If we end up finding it's a TortoiseSVN problem, their mailing list
is users@tortoisesvn.tigris.org and you can subscribe and read the
archives here:
http://tortoisesvn.tigris.org/servlets/ProjectMailingListList
But try it from the command line first to try to prove TortoiseSVN's
innocence.
