As a FreeBSD developer, I don't mind installing the svn port to be able to do it (although I'd prefer a more lightweight port).  I would expect the same to apply to the sort of engaged user who is willing to bisect to track down a bug.

And do you think that the sort of user who is sufficiently engaged with the project to do this is the sort of user who would not be willing to do so if it meant installing the subversion port?  If so, then there is a clear case for svnlite.
