It sounds like you would benefit from a mandate from someone higher up that will gently require people to adopt Maven over some period of time. In an org full of zealous ant users, you're fighting an uphill battle without some support. At the least, you need to be able to re-organize the projects to get them to conform to Maven's standards for where source files should be and to split things up into modules where it makes sense etc. Without a mandate or some power in general over the projects, this will probably be yet another failed migration effort. I am less of a fan of the "parallel non-disruptive" approach suggested by Curtis because it is much harder to accomplish due to the excessive configuration that is required, unless you can do all your work in one big branch in SVN and then check it all in at once after it is working. But that is going to be very disruptive, too.
