I am not an expert on this subject but IIRC setting DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH
will *not* help because of something called SIP (System Integrity
Protection) on macOS.
But I wonder, why does this fail? Subversion's test suite (which runs
the svn binaries) runs just fine. It stands to reason that svnversion
should run just fine, too.

Wait a minute.
"Unversioned directory" is one of the possible outputs of svnversion.
$ svnversion --help
usage: svnversion [OPTIONS] [WC_PATH [TRAIL_URL]]
Subversion working copy identification tool.
(snip)
If WC_PATH is an unversioned path, the program will output
'Unversioned directory' or 'Unversioned file'. If WC_PATH is
an added or copied or moved path, the program will output
'Uncommitted local addition, copy or move'.
That tells me that it must be running, not crashing.
Of course, I could be mistaken. Please could you show us more output
from 'make install' than the 3 lines in the MacPorts Trac issue?
Also, are you building from a distribution tarball or from a working
copy checked out from Subversion's source repository?
Thanks,
Nathan
