Are you on windows. I think that VisualSVN server supports doing this. However, I'm not sure if the free version supports it. But, I am pretty sure they added this feature... it looks like starting with version 1.5.

Ah yes, from their web site:

Configure access permissions
Using VisualSVN Server Manager you can grant or revoke access to specific Subversion sub-trees with the respect to Active Directory accounts. VisualSVN Server is the only Subversion server package that lets you to leverage Active Directory groups (such as standard "Domain Users" or custom "Project Managers").
From a user perspective, access control in VisualSVN Server looks close to the similar functionality in the Windows file system. However, there are significant differences which may cause difficulties for novice Subversion administrators. For detailed description of VisualSVN Server authorization please consider the KB33 article.
When VisualSVN Server is initially installed, access is permitted for all Windows users. So you're requested to grant access to selected users while keeping others from accessing confidential files in your repositories.

Once again, I'm not sure if this is in the free version... I'm guessing it is not.
