Advice on upgrading svn and moving to new server

I have svn 1.4.3 running on a solaris 8 server.   I want to either upgrade this particular server to solaris 10, or move the entire thing to a new solaris 10 server, and also to upgrade subversion to the latest stable version (along with all of the dependencies of course... apache etc.)
 
If I decide to use the same server I am now - what's the best thing to do ... upgrade the OS and then all of the packages and dump and load the repository? 
 
If I am moving - I assume I would set up the OS and packages on the new server including the new svn - then can I dump the repository and then load it on the new server - or just move the repository over and do the same?  
 
Unfortunately I upgraded to 1.4.3 a while back and haven't worked on this in quite some time.  I apologize for stupid questions.  I want this as easy as possible.
 
Also has anyone ever used the webstack/glassfish SW and set it up for svn.  Since I also use Mantis - the php would also be taken care of at the same time this way.... just curious.
 
Thanks in advance for any advice.
