Subversion needs to link to other libraries, such as apr and neon,  
which were also installed with MacPorts. One way to do this is to add  
-I/opt/local/include to the CPPFLAGS variable and -L/opt/local/lib to  
the LDFLAGS variable. Since many ports have this need, MacPorts does  
this automatically for all ports. But Subversion is composed of  
several libraries which are based on each other. For example,  
libsvn_delta depends on libsvn_subr. When Subversion is being built,  
libsvn_subr is built first, then some time later libsvn_delta is  
built and is supposed to be linked with the new version of  
libsvn_subr that was just built but has not yet been installed. But  
because of the -L/opt/local/lib directive, it tries erroneously to  
link the new libsvn_delta library with the old libsvn_subr that is  
in /opt/local/lib instead of the one that was just built. The old  
version of libsvn_subr does not have the capabilities the new version  
of libsvn_delta requires and so an error occurs. By deactivating the  
old version of subversion first, you remove the old libraries from / 
opt/local/lib and thus prevent the problem.

Right, I wouldn't be surprised if the issue exists compiling 1.6.x  
while any version earlier than 1.6.0 is active, but I have not tested  
other than the last 1.5.x version.

Did that work for you? If not, please post the error you got.
