I had a similar problem with Homebrew. In my case, SVN still worked but it was using an older version of Serf than 1.3.4. I think this is because Homebrew used to have Serf as a package and SVN used it. They then changed the packaging so that Serf is a private library of the Subversion package.
Even though Serf was no longer a package, somehow the library was still there and being picked up at runtime. I do not remember exactly how I fixed it, but I think I used something like brew clean serf or brew remove serf. Then when I rebuilt SVN again it build a new Serf 1.3.4 and used it.
