As others have said, svn is centralized, and the working models of distributed and centralized systems differ greatly. Process is a very important factor for such a decision. That being said, mercurial (http://www.selenic.com/mercurial/wiki/) was not yet mentioned but might be a good choice because just like portage it is written in python (with C core for performance).
