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.
