I think the usual approach has two relatively simple parts, which can be deployed and tested separately:

 1) Use svn+ssh (subversion over ssh) for repository access.

 2) Use a Kerberos/GSSAPI-enabled ssh, which is probably available in whatever packaging system you have available for your distribution.

If your developers don't currently have accounts on the subversion server, you can set up accounts that only allow one command, "svnserve", to be run.
