Sane network security policies block everything, especially
non-standard ports, by default. Since Subversion isn't a "common"
piece of software, it shouldn't be a surprise if this port is locked
down.

VisualSVN Server is just a distribution of Subversion bundled with
Apache, a nice installer, and an MMC snap-in for server
administration. Under the hood, it's still the same Subversion. It
should support multiple access methods just fine.
