Joshua is recommending that you do not change binpath, and I concur.

I recommend you "sudo port install subversion". Then you will have an up-to-date subversion client in the MacPorts prefix and it will use that when you next run selfupdate.

I further recommend you remove the Subversion you installed in /usr/local, and anything else you installed there. Such things can interfere with MacPorts.
