The variable gets used to configure : 
    CONFIGURE_ARGS  = $(DIRPATHS) --libdir=$(SVNLIB) --libexecdir=$(SVNLIB)

With SVNLIB=$(prefix)/lib/svn the linker got -L/opt/csw/lib/svn and used the old
libraries. 

With SVNLIB=$(libdir) the linker gets -L/opt/csw anf fails.

While staging to DESTIDR you would need :
 -L/home/maciej/src/opencsw/pkg/subversion/trunk/work/solaris10-sparc/pkgroot/opt
 /csw/lib/svn

Doing this on a machine which does not contain an old version of subversion 
would fail for both settings of SVNLIB. 

Subversion seems generally broken - the code and the build.
