Could you attach the /var/tmp/portage/dev-util/subversion-1.4.0/work/subversion-1.4.0/config.log as suggested by the output. It might give information why things don't work.

Do you have apr and apr-utils properly installed? It seems that /usr/bin/apr-config is missing.
You were right. I don't know why but apr and apr-utils were missing (but portage seen them installed).
