Don't confuse the excessive ports default settings as dependencies.
You can make a quite mean and lean svn client.  I did a 100%
BSD-license-compatible src/contrib/svn style proof-of-concept back
when we were planning what to do.  Things like gdbm and bdb are not
required and are license contamination that we don't need.  But that's
the fault of the port, not a fundamental property of using svn.
