I do. There are a couple options. You can use Apache as your front end server 
and configure it via its LDAP support. Or, what I do, is use svnserve with SASL 
to perform the LDAP authentication.  I preferred using svnserve because of the 
bag of hurt that is RedHat Linux which I was forced to use.

If you are on good terms with your AD admins, you can try to get SASL/GSSAPI 
(Kerberos) as the best option. If that doesn't work, and if you don't mind your 
passwords moving through your network in the clear, SASL/plain will also work.

If you need to support Macs on your network, the SVN libraries supplied by 
Apple are not built with SASL support, so fallback to svn+ssh. I had good luck 
with SVN supplied by home brew in this case.
