Ok...
1. You only have to remove the tigris installer once.
2. You can specify the install directory rather than accept the default. When you run upgrades it will maintain the INSTALLDIR that you used.
3. It only "installs" apache if you select it. And you can also opt to not set up svnserver/apache as services if you have you own apache install you want to use. Yes it throws apache in there too... 20 MB or so. You can delete it if taht 20 MB really bothers you. You could create a batch file that deletes all of the apache stuff except mod.dav_svn.so and run it after you run the installer.
There is also the client only installer which doesn't install any of the server side stuff.

If you want just the command line binaries, use the client only collabnet installer.
I really haven't seen a show stopper with using the collabnet installers except for, what seem to me, like a few very minor nits.
Also, maybe if you ask collabnet to modify their install a bit so you can have it give you mod_dav_svn.so without all the other apache stuff they might be willing to do that.
