I might be. :-)

I've been happy with Subversion installed via MacPorts for awhile
now. It's pretty easy:

1. Download the MacPorts 1.4.0 disk image from here:

http://svn.macosforge.org/repository/macports/downloads/MacPorts-1.4.0/

2. Set up your shell which is described here:

http://trac.macosforge.org/projects/macports/wiki/InstallingMacPorts

3. Update to the latest version:

sudo port selfupdate

4. Now you can install Subversion by typing:

sudo port install apr-util +no_bdb
sudo port install subversion +no_bdb

Lots of other software is available via MacPorts, so it may be worth
your while to set this up so that you can install other software easily.
