I usually just override my PATH when needed.

Compile like this:

        ./configure --prefix=$HOME/svn
        make && make install

Of course the prefix can be anything you like,
just not /usr because that would overwrite your system
svn installation.

When you need the current binaries do this:

        export PATH=$HOME/svn/bin:$PATH

When you need the system svn binaries simply don't do anything :)

Works fine for me.
