svnserve -d -r /var/svn

Where each folder in /var/svn is a separate repository. Then you access each
repo with: svn://svn.example.com/reponame where reponame is the name of the
folder for the repo in /var/svn.

For that matter you could do something (very silly) like -r / and then everyone
would have to know the path on your server to reach the repo e.g.
svn://svn.example.com/var/svn

You can create nested structures this way as well. However, on important bit
to remember is for authz svnserve uses the full path under the root for the
reponame (including the slash) whereas mod_dav_svn uses only the directory the
repo is in. That's because mod_dav_svn doesn't support arbitrary structures
like svnserve does.
