I have anonymous access disabled. I'm using Basic authentication with 
subversion. I have an "AuthUserFile" that handles all the login 
information. I added wwwrun (the user for apache under SuSE) with no 
password. Things seem to work fine now.

I'd read around on SuSE's (my distro) discussion board and they 
_strongly_ suggest not to change the password for the user that runs 
apache. Actually I think this is not really even a user is the 
technical sense. I can't login as it. Right now it has read access to 
everything.

This is a temporary solution but I would really like to figure out a 
way to use some form of authentication. I could take a look into the 
code this weekend. I might have some free time.

Do you have any ideas off the top of your head?

I would be more than happy to help with this one!
