The getting started page doesn't explain much but to say "install like you would for ubuntu, here are those instructions." Other questions also never covered the problem of finding this package for OS X although I'll probably run in to those issues later as well.
I'm not really having mind blowing issues, but I'm using brew and I can't get the equivalent libsvn-dev package installed.
I installed subversion by running brew install subversion --universal and a search of brew packages didn't reveal anything with libsvn in the name. I'm sure there will be other packages I need to fight to install as well.
This is my ../configure message:
...(snip)....

You should be able to see subversion with the brew list command.
The issue is that configure is trying to find the headers in /usr/include, but homebrew doesn't symlink them to /usr/include, but rather into /usr/local/include.
Try providing the --with-svn flag to configure like so:
../configure --with-svn=/usr/local/Cellar/subversion/1.8.10_1
The build script has been updated and there's no need to provied the --with-svn flag anymore. You can now simply run ../configure.
