So the VPN-Connection would be restricted only to the Subversion-Service, so I seems to be easier to set up a SSH-Tunnel than a VPN-Service.

What kind of trouble did you have with apache in the reverse-proxy
mode? I've had that working and I think the only issue was that the
relative path had to be the same as the actual target. That is you
can't proxy http:/realhost/svn as http://proxyhost/somewhere/svn.
Also for a straight passthrough you might run stunnel accepting https
from outside your dmz, connecting to http on the inside server.
