Don't put ~x86 in your USE flags just for that - use /etc/portage/package.keywords (see the above mentioned portage guide). I'm not exactly sure what you want - Gentoo leaves packages in unstable for a default period of time to make sure they work allright. If you want the newest version of a package, you must tell portage to do so by putting the appropriate stuff (subversion and it's dependencies) in /etc/portage/package.keywords. Here, i just did it myself by putting this in my package.keywords (create this file if it doesn't exist) : =dev-util/subversion-1.2.1 ~x86 =dev-libs/apr-util-0.9.5 ~x86 =dev-libs/apr-0.9.5 ~x86 You just add one package, ask portage to merge, then put in the next dependency, and so on... Tried this on amd64 (with ~amd64 instead of ~x86, naturally), it's happily compiling away... This was just info about portage, it is in no way any form of endorsement on the new version of subversion, as I haven't used it at all - and I don't know if you should be so impatient with a new version of a package that seems to be important to you and your data...
