As I recall, the Subversion port doesn't know about any SSL certs at all, which is why in MacPorts base when we use fetch.type svn we set it to ignore certs. Here's the ticket requesting we no longer do that in base:

It would be better for Subversion to know about SSL certs, perhaps somehow using the curl-ca-bundle port. Possibly this is not a Subversion issue, but the OpenSSL issue mentioned here:
