Well, I figured out how to make this work but I'm not sure WHY it 
worked.  When I first checked out Apache2 via CVS, I was unknowingly 
checking out the 2.1-dev branch and NOT the 2.0 branch.  When I finally 
figured this out (thanks in part to the reply I got back from Philip 
Gollucci), I checked out Apache2 like this:

$ cat checkout-apache.ksh
cvs -d :pserver:anoncvs at cvs.apache.org:/home/cvspublic login
cvs -d :pserver:anoncvs at cvs.apache.org:/home/cvspublic checkout -d 
httpd-2.0 -r APACHE_2_0_BRANCH httpd-2.0
cd httpd-2.0/srclib
cvs -d :pserver:anoncvs at cvs.apache.org:/home/cvspublic checkout apr apr-util

And then built it like this:

$ cd httpd-2.0
$ make clean
$ ./buildconf
$ ./configure --prefix=/home/soneill/i386-FreeBSD 
--with-perl=/usr/bin/perl5.8.0 --with-mpm=prefork --with-port=8000 
--with-expat=/usr/local --enable-v4-mapped --with-ssl=/usr 
--enable-maintainer-mode --enable-so --enable-mods-shared="all cgid deflate 
ext_filter proxy proxy-connect proxy-ftp proxy-http ssl dav"
$ make
$ make install
$ httpd -v
Server version: Apache/2.0.46-dev
Server built:   Apr 19 2003 12:34:01
$ httpd -l
Compiled in modules:
   core.c
   prefork.c
   http_core.c
   mod_so.c

Now mod_so.c is showing up like I need (for subversion) and various modules 
are shared like I was expecting.

So either something in Apache 2.1-dev apparently isn't quite right yet with 
modules or maybe how things work with modules in 2.1-dev is slightly 
different then how they work in 2.0.  Not sure which.
