Just a couple of notes on this, firstly I see that the Subversion binary 
packages page does have a reference to a maintained set of RPMs which 
include RHEL3 (in fact it's whitebox-el3) but it also includes a new swig 
package which

http://subversion.tigris.org/project_packages.html#binary-packages
http://summersoft.fay.ar.us/pub/subversion/latest/whitebox-el-3/

Secondly (and this isn't a recommendation just a note) I downloaded the 
Subversion 1.1.4 source and despite the old swig version warning it did 
compile cleanly and has allowed me to checkout code from a repository. 
Doubtless there will be features that don't work but you might wish to 
experiment along these lines.
