I posted the PR below. I know it ios early days, but there has, so far been no 
response.

Until this is dealt with I felt it might be useful to have the PR , and the 
temporary method I used to solved it, posted here.

>Description:
Attempted to install subversion.
Options were chosen to support webdav & ssl 
Therefore neon had to be installed as a dependency,
Neon was not then present on the system.

I raised the problem on ports at freebsd.org.
Here is an extract from my email reporting my solution to the problem:

That sounds familiar

Ok I am working with this and commenting as I go.

I am on 6.1 :
# uname -a
FreeBSD dns1.vizion2000.net 6.1-RELEASE FreeBSD 6.1-RELEASE #0: Sun May  7 
04:15:57 UTC 2006     root at bloom.cse.buffalo.edu:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/SMP

I presume you mean the subversion configure script?
Only one reference to kerberos found in the port files:

[root at dns1 /usr/ports/devel/subversion]# fgrep -R kerberos ./*
./work/subversion-1.4.3/INSTALL:      "--with-libs=/usr/kerberos" for OpenSSL 
to be found.  The zlib library
[root at dns1 /usr/ports/devel/subversion]# 

In INSTALL:

 On Unix systems, if you are building neon as part of the Subversion
      build process (as described in section I.4 above), you can pass flags
      to Subversion's "./configure", and they will be passed on to neon's
      "./configure".  You need OpenSSL installed on your system, and you
      must add "--with-ssl" as a "./configure" parameter.  If your OpenSSL
      installation is hard for Neon to find, you may need to use
      "--with-libs=/path/to/lib" in addition.  In particular, on Red Hat
      (but not Fedora Core) it is necessary to specify
      "--with-libs=/usr/kerberos" for OpenSSL to be found.

     Section 1.4
    We recommend that you keep the neon installation out of the
      Subversion working copy.  This is because most developers have
      multiple working copies of Subversion, and it is easier to use a
      single instance of the Neon library for all instances.  To do
      this, just unzip/untar Neon, and build and install it according
      to its own standard installation instructions.  Then follow the
      steps below to use the installed Neon when building 

      Subversion's configuration mechanism should auto-detect the
      installed Neon. 

CONCLUSION:
I wonder if neon packaged with subversion does not test for the correct 
version? 

What happenes if  in /usr/ports/www/neon > make deinstall followed by a clean 
reconfigure & make and then attempt a new install of subversion???

OK Success that works!!! :-)
**********************************
So it looks as though neon bundled inside the subversion port needs to be 
modified to test for system version to identify the correct version of of 
lgssapi to install. 
>How-To-Repeat:
See above
>Fix:
[Maintainer could] Look at /usr/ports/www/neon.

Fix neon bundled in subversion so it correctly identifies the version of 
lgssapi  or remove neon bundled with subversion or reorganise the port so it 
solely relies on /usr/ports/www/neon.
