hmmm, worked for me?  I compile SVN on my xebian xbox all the time. 
It's possible, keep trying.  I wish I could help you more, but it's
been 6 months since I probably last set up the dependencies on the
xbox and I can't remember any of the details, but I was able to do it.

Here's a thread that I started that helped me fix the issues I was
having while trying to compile CVS (SVN now) on the xbox.  I had been
using the packages before that.
