I have just built and installed ports/devel/subversion on a fresh box.
The port installed 17 dependent ports:

apr-ipv6-gdbm-1.3.8.1.3.9 Apache Portability Library
autoconf-2.62       Automatically configure source code on many Un*x platforms 
autoconf-wrapper-20071109 Wrapper script for GNU autoconf
automake-1.9.6_3    GNU Standards-compliant Makefile generator (1.9)
automake-wrapper-20071109 Wrapper script for GNU automake
expat-2.0.1         XML 1.0 parser written in C
gdbm-1.8.3_3        The GNU database manager
help2man-1.36.4_3   Automatically generating simple manual pages from program o
libiconv-1.13.1     A character set conversion library
libtool-2.2.6b      Generic shared library support script
m4-1.4.13,1         GNU m4
neon28-0.28.6       An HTTP and WebDAV client library for Unix systems
perl-5.8.9_3        Practical Extraction and Report Language
python26-2.6.4      An interpreted object-oriented programming language
sqlite3-3.6.19      An SQL database engine in a C library
subversion-1.6.6_1  Version control system
tcl-8.5.8           Tool Command Language
tcl-modules-8.5.8   Tcl common modules

There could have been more but I had disabled some crap like the BDB
backend.

Please compare all this with a single /usr/bin/cvs binary and be
horrified. Of course it needs python26, perl and tcl - all the three
of them. I don't think I want all this on every server I plan to
makeworld on. 

To cut a long story short, I would rather continue using cvs, perhaps
until there is subversion-light in the base system.
