If you can send me an attachment with the full output of:

port clean subversion
port -d -v install subversion

That may help diagnose what is going wrong.

That looks perhaps like a problem with the expat port.

Do you have the latest expat port installed?

Try:

port sync
port -f uninstall expat
port install expat

and then

port clean subversion
port -d -v install subversion

And see if it works.
