You misunderstand: svn *doesn't* work without apr-util; that
document is correct.  pkgsrc's apr0 package includes *both* apr
and apr-util; I don't know why.  I think I may have perpetrated
that.  But, whoever packaged apr 1.x (possibly me, not sure :)
did a better job and packaged them separately.

If it needed updating, I'd update it myself.

Eh, it costs very, very little for svn to continue to
support both.
