Subversion and GNOME keyring work well without X. In your login
script you just want:

$ export `gnome-keyring-daemon`

Subversion will prompt you for password to unlock the keyring when it
is locked. In logout script you want:

$ kill $GNOME_KEYRING_PID

One problem is that GNOME does not provide any CLI for working with
the keyring. CollabNet created a keyring_tool that lets you do this.
It is packaged in the RPM we provide for Linux.

$ keyring_tool

Keyring tools is application that lets you manage keyrings.

Usage:
keyring_tool {--list | -t}
List all the existing keyring names.

keyring_tool {--setdef=keyring_name | -s keyring_name}
Set given keyring as default keyring.

keyring_tool {--getdef | -g}
Get keyring name of default keyring.

keyring_tool {--create=keyring_name | -c keyring_name} [-p password]
Create a given keyring with a password.

keyring_tool {--delete=keyring_name | -d keyring_name}
Delete a given keyring.

keyring_tool {--lock=keyring_name | -l keyring_name}
Lock a given keyring.

keyring_tool {--unlock=keyring_name | -u keyring_name} [-p password]
Unlock given keyring with a password.

keyring_tool {--modify=keyring_name | -m keyring_name} [-p password]
[-n new_password]
Modify given keyring, old password with a new password.

keyring_tool {--info=keyring_name | -i keyring_name}
Get information of a given keyring.

keyring_tool {--version | -v}
print version information.
