Try svnperms.py:
http://subversion.tigris.org/tools_contrib.html#svnperms_py

Note svn has built in authz support, but I don't think it distinguishes
between modification permission and delete permission (since from a
data-integrity standpoint modifying a file to be empty is equivalent to
deleting it). From a prevent-users-from-doing-stupid-things standpoint
the separate delete permission provided by scripts like svnperms is useful.
