Yes, I don't believe it will be possible with today's Subversion.

I think that's about the best you can do today.

The VirtualHost *should* have a DocumentRoot, but having it be /var/
lib/svn would be a mistake. Make the document root be anywhere else
that will not overlap with your Subversion parent path.

Write a script in PHP (or any other web scripting language of your
choice) to print out links for each client's directory. Put that PHP
script in the document root.

It would be nice if SVNParentPath and SVNListParentPath would work
with an arbitrary hierarchy of directories. But currently they don't;
all repositories must be in a flat directory, as you've discovered.
So the best you can do is have multiple SVNParentPath /
SVNListParentPath directives, one for each directory you want
repositories to be inside.
An alternate strategy you could consider would be creating just one
repository for each client, and putting all that client's projects
into it. There are of course both pros and cons to this approach,
just like there are with the one you've tried already.
