Don't hurt yourself trying to do that. The build dependencies have
gotten too far ahead of the base components for RHEL 5 for even me,
and I published the last update for Repoforge. Save yourself some pain
and take a look at Wandisco's public offerings if you need to run the
server on RHEL 5, or stell yourself for the jump tp RHEL 6 or RHEL 7.

If you're gong to go this route, take a look at my old tools at
https://github.com/nkadel/subversion-1.9.x-srpm. That won't get it
working with all the missing dependencies for RHEL or CentOS 5, but
can give some traction for setting up actual RPM's for RHEL 6 or 7.
