The --with-sqlite option should be removed as it only allows the ${EPREFIX}/usr to be checked. Without this option it will use pkg-config to determine the correct location.
You will have to make your case with the maintainer.
Gentoo uses pkg-config for sqlite3 so it makes sense to remove --with-sqlite. The subversion configure script will automatically use pkg-config to detect sqlite then. The subversion scripts won't find sqlite in the case there are more libraries to link against which haven't been found. With pkg-config these additional libraries are automatically included.

Using pkg-config to find sqlite will identify additional libraries in the sqlite3.pc file that otherwise would not be found when using --with-sqlite.
sqlite argument removed in subversion-1.7.6, should be on your local rsync mirror in a few hours. For other changes or bug reports, please open a seperate bug report.
