Subversion requires either the Neon or Serf libraries to provide HTTP
support. If you do not build with these libraries then you do not
have HTTP client support. I would not say this is common as almost
all Subversion repositories are available only by HTTP.

Your user should either compile their Subversion client with all of
the proper dependencies or download a binary version. There are a
number of places where you can get precompiled versions of Subversion
for Solaris.
