Well, here's a tutorial on how to install SVN on FreeBSD. The tutorial even goes down to the nitty-gritty of installing Apache and SVN straight from scratch. You will then have your own svn server.

I am sure that it won't take long for you to port the tutorial to your favorite Linux distribution. :)
