#!/bin/sh

umask 002
/usr/bin/svnserve.orig $@

Haven't tested that at all, but it should work :). Thought you could set
UMASK, but I'm not seeing that in the man page for bash.

mv /usr/bin/svnserve /usr/bin/svnserve.orig

Make the above script /usr/bin/svnserve.sh, then look at
update-alternatives to make svnserve.sh the preferred alternative for
/usr/bin/svnserve. Better yet, if you can get svn to call
/usr/bin/svnserve.sh directly and leave svnserve alone.
