I recently setup Subversion on Centos as well as RHEL, so thought will share the steps followed though it’s pretty straight forward it will help people looking for it and will be available to me for future references as well 
Step1 Install rpmforge repository
$ sudo rpm -Uhv http://apt.sw.be/redhat/el5/en/i386/rpmforge/RPMS/rpmforge-release-0.3.6-1.el5.rf.i386.rpm
Step2 Install Subversion
$ sudo yum install subversion
Step3 Install mod_dav_svn (Only required if you planning Apache Integration)
$ sudo yum install mod_dav_svn
Voila and you are done, go to command prompt and type following
$ svn –version
You should see output as below
svn, version 1.6.9 (r901367)
