The filesystem browser tab does use a standard KDE widget, and therefore it also supports the KDE kioslaves. For instance, you can simply type
svn+http://rkward.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/rkward/trunk/rkward/
into the location-bar of the browser. Unfortunately, kio_svn only supports read access, but no commits.
Note that this does not work in places where the R processor is involved, as that does not know how to use kioslaves.
Also, you're probably looking for some more elaborate support esp. also for committing files. That is not currently possible, and I don't see a way to implement this with reasonable effort. Since this isn't a terribly common use case, I probably won't look into this any further, in the foreseeable future. But if you want to give it a try yourself, or you want to convince us otherwise, contact us on rkward-devel AT lists.sourceforge.net .

Hi,
Is there a recommended way to use SVN to manage files
in the "Filesystem Browser" Tab of RKWard ?
I.e. does that pane use some KDE widget/component
which can be beefed up by a SVN plugin ?
Yours,
Steffen
