Most commonly you'd see multi-threaded use of Subversion in the context of a Subversion server running httpd with worker threads (e.g. mpm_worker), and in Subversion clients running in multithreaded contexts (GUI integrations for instance). There used to be threaded/non-threaded flavours of APR in older OpenBSD releases. As of OpenBSD 5.2 the APR port is always built with thread support. Stubbing pthread symbols in Subversion wouldn't make any sense since they aren't stubbed in APR. You cannot load Subversion libraries without also loading APR libraries.
