I wrote an apache2 module that lets users authenticate with their username
per whatever authn scheme is being used and then maps them to another
username that subversion sees. I think this would do what you want. I'm
using this in production w/ no problems. I posted it to dev@ a few months
back:

You could also use the svn-tweak-author.py script in contrib to
periodically remap the names, perhaps in a hook as suggested. The
difference is that I use the module to map before the svn path-based
authorization module sees the username. So if I log in as xyz with my
module in place and a mapping of xyz --> abc configured, authzsvn sees abc
as the username and so does the rest of the svn server-side (i.e., the
svn:author revprop).
