Why don't you do step 3/4/5 all on the linux server. You will of course have to use the svn cli via and ssh to the linux server. So your steps would be something like:
1. Linux Server: create a directory for development area by using svn co ^/path/to/proj directoryname
2. Linux Server: setup apache to use the newly created directory as a virtual host
3. Linux Server: Create a symlink in the directory to another directory on the linux server
4. Commit the symlink. I assume this will only need to be done once since the same symlink will work for everyone right?
Once you do that you can use Windows tools over the network if you want. You will of course need tools that support linux line endings and watch your case. Or perhaps even better would be for you devs to use linux either nativly or in VMs on the Windows host machines.
