Subversion is still in the early phases of development, and as such it
was felt (by the subversion developers) that it was a little too early
to have an official port in the freebsd ports tree.
If you follow the subversion-development mailing-list, you'll see that
there is an unofficial freeBSD port available. Here is a recent message
about it:
Date: Wed, 16 Jan 2002 19:40:41 -0500
From: Garrett Rooney <rooneg@electricjellyfish.net>
Subject: Subversion 0.8 FreeBSD port
an updated FreeBSD port for Subversion 0.8 is now available,
either from the svn repository, or from the usual location at:
http://electricjellyfish.net/subversion.tar.gz

garrett rooney Unix was not designed to stop you from
rooneg@electricjellyfish.net doing stupid things, because that would
http://electricjellyfish.net/ stop you from doing clever things.
I hope this helps.
(For those wondering what subversion is, it's meant as an alternative
to 'cvs' for source-code management. It looks very promising, imo)
