question
I have 2 questions:
(1) I would like to use subversion with the server on Solaris and clients
on both Linux and Windows (2000/XP). Is this possible?
(2) Will passwords be sent as cleartext or will they be encrypted?

Yes, it's possible. You can get the package from blastwave.org.

Plain old svn:// traffic does not send cleartext passwords over the
network either.
So really, the only thing that sends cleartext passwords over the
network is http:// doing Basic Auth.

Actually, if you set up SSL to authenticate using client certs, there is
no password sent over the line at all, encrypted or otherwise. The
client may or may not use a password of their choosing to encrypt their
private certificate, but that doesn't involve the server at all.
Pretty cool stuff.
Of course, the other advantage of using https instead of ssh+svn is that
you can access the repository using any standard web browser, or webdav
client, such as windows web folders.

But *not* using SSL (therefore bare http:) does not protect anything. ;-)
Have a nice day!

Eppps... (surprise). I thought SSL was encrypting all traffic, including
passwords, no?

Only if you decide to *not* use SSL. The best ways to encrypt all the
traffic are through HTTPS or SSH+SVN.
The choice is up to you, but I strongly suggest you use some form of
encryption over a public (or wireless!) network.
"The book" explains how to set up these types of servers in great
detail:
