You can inline it, but you probably want to reference it:

For

[...]
      <mediaobject>
        <imageobject>
          <imagedata fileref="ch01_pic01a.svg" format="SVG"
            contentwidth="400" contentdepth="300"/>
        </imageobject>
        <textobject>
          <phrase>Bar</phrase>
        </textobject>
      </mediaobject>
[...]

The docbook.sf.net FO XSLTs give you something like

[...]
<fo:external-graphic src="url(ch01_pic01a.svg)" width="500pt" 
height="auto" content-width="auto" content-height="auto"/>
[...]

Then you can use FOP to get PDF.

In (X)HTML, the output can look like this:
(all is just vague and stripped pseudo code)

<div class="mediaobject">
<object data="ch01_pic01a.svg" type="image/svg+xml" width="500" 
height="300">Bar</object>
</div>
