Tim hit the nail on the head. Expose an SSHable host from outside the network and put the repositories there. Then access them over svn+ssh. That'll get you running the fastest. Another option would be only to allow svn locally, but use svk when offsite. I've written (briefly) about how to use svk in the past, if anyone is interested I can dredge that up or talk about it at the next meeting. This solution has the benefit of allowing checkins while not connected to the network. A third option is openvpn or similar VPN solutions. This is a good idea to have in place for other services, as well. What problems have you had with svn over http? I very much prefer that to svn+ssh, and have never had any troubles with it.
