Les,
In my first inquiry I asked "Is it as simple as doing a repo dump
from the 1.2.1 version and then restoring into the newer version?"
So, my understanding of your explanation is that svnadmin dump
path-to-repo > dumpfile is the best way to get them moved.
Then you say that I have a choice as to where they get loaded, on
the new server. So, I have a question about that.
If I use the following example: svnadmin dump /home/testrepo >
testrepo.dump to create my dump file and then move it over to the new
server and run the command svnadmin load path-to-repo < testrepo.dump; it
is this "path-to-repo" that affords me the choice of location to load?

It is always best to use svadmin dump and load operations since they
deal with differences between server versions, etc.. But, you have your
choice as to whether you load into some directory in the old repo (which
will change all the revision numbers in the part being loaded but
otherwise keep the history) or create a new empty repo and load there.
If you are using svnserve you can do something like this:
http://wordaligned.org/articles/one-svnserve-multiple-repositories
And likewise with http(s) access you can just put multiple repos under
the same top level directory it is serving.
Note that the dump/load won't take hook scripts or authentication or
access control configuration, so you will have to copy those separately
if you have any.
