This is not a good idea, just to start with. Whether you are using
svnserve or apache, it is best to have the server process local to the
repository files. The reason for this is that remote filesystems do not
(as a rule) support the kind simultaneous access and file locking that
Subversion requires. You may be able to get away with it if you have a
very good NFS implementation, but it can lead to repository corruption.

It's not possible with the current code, and for the reasons above,
isn't likely to be added either.
Is there some reason you can't host all of your repositories on a single
box? Or some reason you can't run multiple servers (one per
repository)? If you are trying to maintain a central authorization
structure for all of the repositories, there are any number of ways to
accomplish that and still have independent repositories: one of the
easiest of which is to have another repository contain the ./conf
directory itself and use a post-commit update all instances.
