I installed the ones found here:

http://people.redhat.com/jorton/Taroon-svn/

...which are designed to work *with* the existing packages rather than

Yes, those other ones will replace certain RHEL/WBEL packages, which
unless your box is *solely* for Subversion, you'll probably find RPM
dependency clashes with other packages.

Plus these are available as a Yum repository.
