Well.... if BerkeleyDB (db44) is now installed, then you should be  
able to install Subversion. If not, show us the last few lines of the  
error. (You snipped too much above for us to know what went wrong  
last time.)

It's also possible to skip BerkeleyDB entirely by building first apr- 
util and then subversion with the +no_bdb variant. I do this, and  
recommend it, unless you already know that you really need  
BerkeleyDB, but I suspect you don't.

Also, you do not need to specify "+darwin_8"; that's automatically  
selected for you when you're running Mac OS X 10.4.x.
