I'm replying off-list because I am just a newbie to this myself, but if your httpd.conf is set up like mine (very generic), then the SVNPath in httpd.conf and the svn path in trac.ini are for two separate functions. httpd provides the direct svn access for outside clients, but trac uses its own direct access to the repository for its svn actions. If you only had a SVN server, and no trac, then you would still need the httpd.conf entry. If you only wanted trac, with repository browsing, but no ability to access the repository from regular svn clients, then you could omit the httpd.conf entries.
