Not actually having done this, you must take this with the proverbial
grain of salt.

However, I would think that you would do this with the "port forwarding"
configuration of SSH.  Attach ( in your configuration file on the svn
side ) a particular incoming SSH port to your SVN server.  Then on the
client, set the svn client up to talk to a local port, which is then
captured by the local ssh software and forwarded to the server on the
"private" port.

Does that make any sense?
