We are doing that - for quite some time now. (see r179637 & r179655).  The 
requirements are that:

1) svnversion is executable in /bin, /usr/bin or /usr/local/bin
2) there is a .svn directory in your SRCDIR

If that's the case, newvers.sh will add the output of it to uname:

"FreeBSD fbsd8 8.0-CURRENT FreeBSD 8.0-CURRENT #4 r180876:183019M:..."
