The path to `svnserve.in' points to the `files/' subdirectory of the
`devel/subversion' port.  You seem to be missing parts of the Ports
tree:

root at kobe:/usr/ports/devel/subversion# ls -l files/svnserve.in
-rwxr-xr-x  1 root  wheel  - 824 Jul 18 11:03 files/svnserve.in
root at kobe:/usr/ports/devel/subversion#

Try to CVSup your /usr/ports tree once more, and see if you will then
get the missing file.

It shouldn't be a bug, AFAICT.  I've installed the same port & revision
here a while ago:

root at kobe:/root# pkg_info subversion\* | head -1
