Depends how much you want to invest into this. It should be possible
to have multiple servers accessing a cluster filesystem on a RAID --
for example, multiple Xserves running Xsan, and a RAID box of some
kind. Each server would have svnserve (or apache) installed and would
access the same repository on the RAID. The cluster filesystem would
prevent concurrent access from corrupting the repository.

Such a setup would likely be totally overkill for just hosting a few
Subversion repositories, so hopefully you would have other tasks you
can place on these servers too (web, email, file server, etc.).
