Did you miss Albert Shih's reply (slightly modified)?

Actually, I was reading replies from the top of the thread down, and was
still looking into what he said (in the midst of dealing with other
things that came up), so hadn't gotten back to the list yet.



Put something like
[tunnels]
myssh=/usr/bin/ssh -p 1234 123.45.678.90
in
~/.subversion/config
and use
svn co svn+myssh://usr/home/svn-repos/project

You can then clearly define as many transports as you like, which
requires no setting of environment variables and is shell-agnostic.

Full details are described in the redbook:
http://svnbook.red-bean.com/nightly/en/svn.serverconfig.svnserve.html#svn.serverconfig.svnserve.sshauth

In fact, if you had read the svn+ssh portion of the redbook, you would
have come across this sentence:

"This example demonstrates a couple of things. First, it shows how to
make the Subversion client launch a very specific tunneling binary (the
one located at /opt/alternate/ssh) with specific options. In this case,
accessing a svn+joessh:// URL would invoke the particular SSH binary
with -p 29934 as arguments ??? useful if you want the tunnel program to
connect to a non-standard port."

Reading the manual is good.

Apparently, reading it *recently* -- rather than just skimming to refresh
my memory -- seems to be key in this case.
