Environmental variables cannot be controlled by the rc.d
framework, as far as I understand. Using login classes to
define them should be the correct way.

What did you enter for the svnserve user in /etc/login.conf,
and did you make sure there is no override setting in the
corresponding user's ~/.login.conf?

A valid setting should look like this,

        :setenv=KRB5_KTNAME=/home/svn/svn.keytab:

embedded into the proper structures.
