I had no idea what a PPK is, but Google says it's a special key associated with 
PuTTY, which means that ssh probably doesn't recognize it. It seems there may 
be ways to convert such a key to one that ssh will recognize. However, since 
you're on a Mac, the easier way is likely to create a new RSA SSH key and get 
the corresponding public key added to ~/.ssh/authorized_keys on the SVN server.

In Terminal:
$ ssh-keygen -t rsa

Accept the default file location and provide a strong passphrase. RSA defaults 
to 2048 bits, which is twice as long as DSA and thus more secure.

Hope that helps,
