VC sources can't be grabbed during the build process because there's not supposed to be any network activity except during the Download phase. The current workaround to get an SVN source is for the maintainer to manually download the required revision, make a tarball out of it, place it in some public server and use that as SourceN. The Fink mirrors will then grab it. I believe there's space on SF.net if you don't have temporary hosting space yourself. There was talk some time ago to create a Source-VC (or similar) field that would point to a specific revision of a cvs/svn/git/... repository and then Fink would fetch that instead of a tarball, but it never got past the discussion stage (unless someone did it in their experimental, but I don't think so).
