As of FreeBSD 10.0, a "light" version of Subversion has been integrated into the base system. It includes most of the svn tools, though the filenames have been changed (e.g. "svnlite" instead of "svn", "svnliteserve" instead of "svnserve" etc.) Most people probably would use this for the client, but it turns out the server binary is included as well... for most uses, you don't need the devel/subversion port any more.
Here is how you can do this yourself:
1. As root create the file /etc/rc.d/svnliteserve with these contents:
2. Ensure file is owned by root:wheel and chmod 555 (read-execute for all)
3. Edit /etc/rc.conf and add some lines:
4. Start it up!

Notes:
* You may need to add the svn user and group, if you haven't already (the port may add them for you)
* Setting up a repository and other info is beyond the scope of this post... but should be just like the port.
