Since the swig preprocessor doesn't load all the system headers, unless you 
pass -includeall, it has not way to know that they system defined PATH_MAX, 
i.e., it doesn't load limits.h, et al. 

I'm not sure what the right fix would be, but you can edit apr.i and add 
#define PATH_MAX 1024, or whatever it's supposed to be on your system, just 
before %include apr.h.  

apr.i can be found here:

/usr/ports/devel/subversion-perl/work/subversion-1.2.3/subversion/bindings/swig/apr.i

As for the correct value, this is what I get:

$ cpp -dM /usr/local/include/apr-1/apr.h |grep PATH_MAX
#define _XOPEN_PATH_MAX 1024
#define _POSIX_PATH_MAX 256
#define APR_PATH_MAX PATH_MAX
#define PATH_MAX 1024

So 1024 looks right...

btw, I don't like the new logo either...
