This is all I have in my buildjail:

root at portjail:/root # uname -a
FreeBSD portjail.home.critical.ch 9.1-STABLE FreeBSD 9.1-STABLE #1 r245789: Tue Jan 22 16:30:35 CET 2013     root at alaska.home.critical.ch:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/GENERIC  amd64

root at portjail:/root # pkg_info
subversion-1.7.8    Version control system

All this is is a package built with the default options of devel/subversion plus STATIC.

I am perfectly able to use http as a chekout method:

root at portjail:/root # svn checkout --depth empty http://svn.FreeBSD.org/ports/head/audio/yell ports/audio/yell
Checked out revision 310914.
root at portjail:/root # svn update --set-depth infinity ports/audio/yell/
Updating 'ports/audio/yell':
A    ports/audio/yell/distinfo
A    ports/audio/yell/pkg-descr
A    ports/audio/yell/Makefile
Updated to revision 310914.

Hence, to come back to the original post
$ pkg_add -r subversion-static

is the equivalent of
$ pkg_add -r cvsup-without-gui
