That sounds familiar

Ok I am working with this and commenting as I go.

I am on 6.1 :

I presume you mean the subversion configure script?
Only one reference to kerberos found in the port files:

[root at dns1 /usr/ports/devel/subversion]# fgrep -R kerberos ./*
./work/subversion-1.4.3/INSTALL:      "--with-libs=/usr/kerberos" for OpenSSL 
to be found.  The zlib library
[root at dns1 /usr/ports/devel/subversion]# 

In INSTALL:

 On Unix systems, if you are building neon as part of the Subversion
      build process (as described in section I.4 above), you can pass flags
      to Subversion's "./configure", and they will be passed on to neon's
      "./configure".  You need OpenSSL installed on your system, and you
      must add "--with-ssl" as a "./configure" parameter.  If your OpenSSL
      installation is hard for Neon to find, you may need to use
      "--with-libs=/path/to/lib" in addition.  In particular, on Red Hat
      (but not Fedora Core) it is necessary to specify
      "--with-libs=/usr/kerberos" for OpenSSL to be found.

     Section 1.4
    We recommend that you keep the neon installation out of the
      Subversion working copy.  This is because most developers have
      multiple working copies of Subversion, and it is easier to use a
      single instance of the Neon library for all instances.  To do
      this, just unzip/untar Neon, and build and install it according
      to its own standard installation instructions.  Then follow the
      steps below to use the installed Neon when building 

      Subversion's configuration mechanism should auto-detect the
      installed Neon. 

CONCLUSION:
I wonder if neon packaged with subversion does not test for the correct 
version? 

What happenes if  in /usr/ports/www/neon > make deinstall followed by a clean 
reconfigure & make and then attempt a new install of subversion???

OK Success that works!!! :-)

I will pass the results to the maintainer via a PR

Thanks for getting me onto the right track.
