So /var/svn is a repository, created with svnadmin create /var/svn. The project where imported as var/svn/proj1, var/svn/proj2 and var/svn/proj3. So your projects do live in the var/svn directory in your repository (note there is no / at the beginning so I'm referring to the repository but a directory inside your repository).

I would do the following (presuming you're on unix or linux)

- check out the whole thing (it might be too big but maybe not)
     svn checkout file:///var/svn ~/tmp
This will create a new directory called tmp in your home directory whit the whole of your repository. Insinde ~/tmp you will have var/svn/proj1, var/svn/proj2 and var/svn/proj3.

- move the projects to the root of your repository
     cd ~/tmp
     svn move var/svn/proj1 proj1
     svn move var/svn/proj2 proj2
     svn move var/svn/proj3 proj3
Since you have used svn command the history will be preserved.

- commit
     svn commit -m"Reorganising the projects"

Done. Now to see a list of your projects 'svn list file:///var/svn' will be enough.
