Yes, although you have two choices: either convert your private SVN
repositories into private git repositories, or put them on a public site
such as github. FYI, github will automatically import public SVN
repositories, and it preserves the entire history doing so (the import
operation works great in my experience). You will have to make your SVN
repositories available publicly, though, which might not be an option for
you.

As for the learning curve, I recommend against using a SVN wrapper: just
bite the bullet and learn git directly (or whatever DVCS you end up setting
with). There is no shortage of tutorials, as this discussion has shown, but
if I were to recommend one resource, it would be the free "Professional Git"
book.
