apache2-devel is not needed by subversion if I don't build the apache2
module. I do need to install a native apache2 instance with subversion
support in order to test the http support in the client, but I suppose I
can do that.

subversion release soon without subversion-apache2. I need to get the
native apache2/svn server running first.
