Thanks both for the quick answer. Answering Noah Slater, I've read it in the (non-oficial) Gentoo ebuild, first from https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=197176 and now maintained in a couchdb overlay at https://svn.usrportage.de/couchdb-overlay .
As Jan Lehnardt says: svn2cl was needed to build CouchDB. Because Gentoo/Linux distribution builds (compile) everything before installing, this could be the reason that svn2cl is needed by Gentoo. Can you confirm that svn2cl is only needed for compiling older version 0.8.1 and 0.8.0? This compilation dependency is present in new versions (0.9)? I'm going to update this overlay with the new top level address and with the new version 0.9 when it comes out.
