Nope, that has never been true (at least for as long as I've  
maintained the port).

What has been true on a couple of occasions is that either neon or  
subversion's build system's interaction with neon has been broken  
(entirely my fault) and so if you built subversion it wouldn't be  
able to use neon and so you wouldn't be able to access WebDAV  
repositories (via http or https).
