Do you run this on a server without mouse and keyboard? If so, is your
APR compiled with /dev/random or /dev/urandom as the source for random
numbers? If it's /dev/random, then the tests hang on a drained random
device, waiting for new entropy.
On headless servers, it's generally a good idea to add a source of
randomness from - for example - harddisk activity, or to compile APR
with /dev/urandom, which is a non-blocking source of random numbers
(but weaker). Subversion just needs randomness and doesn't depend on
the strong randomness provided by /dev/random.

Erik.
