What I do is have a target called genversion (in Xcode, but it'll work
if you use make or ant or anything) that creates a .c file and .h file
with the output of svnversion embedded. My binary build includes a
dependency on the genversion build target so that the .c file is
always regenerated.

Then I have another target that creates a source distribution (by
copying all the source files without the .svn directories to another
place and that target also has a dependency on genversion.

It means you can't just svn export your source tree, but once you've
set up the source distribution, it's no less convenient.

At one point I tried putting the generated .c file in the repository,
but that just doesn't work. The act of committing it makes it out of
date.
