Did you follow the instructions in UPDATING (see below)?

They may have some bearing on the problem.

  subversion now uses neon-0.28.x (www/neon28) port, and automatic
  portupgrade will fail because neon26 will conflict with installed
  neon26.
  You should upgrade neon library tohgether with subversion with

  # portupgrade -o www/neon28 neon subversion

  command.

  Also, if you use special subversion port with bindings, you
  should upgrade your port to clean subversion port with

  # portupgrade -o devel/subversion subversion-\*

  and install needed bindings (p5-subversion, py-subversion and/or
  ruby-subversion) after that.

  If you use subversion with bindings, installed from devel/subversion
  with custom options, don't forget to install separate bindings ports
  after subversion upgrade.
