That means you didn't compile your Subversion client with neon
support, which is required to access http/https repositories.

Not sure why that is.

True, they're now in a separate archive subversion-deps-1.4.3.tar.bz2

No. You need apache to *serve* repositories via http/https, but to
*access* http/https repositories, you need neon. I don't know why
it's not working for you if you indeed have neon. Check for specific
lines of output from configure that relate to neon, or check the
config.log.
