You can set up subversion with one repository per project - I
believe the subversion documentation talks about this, and the 
apache2/webdav (which I use for access) conf-files on my debian
box had examples for both single-repository and multi-repository
setups.

Of course, you still share revision numbers between trunk and
branches, but not between projects.

With this approach, the directory structure of each repository
looks something like this:

   trunk/Makefile
         src/
         ...
   branches/<branch1>/Makefile
                      src/
                      ...
   branches/<branch2>/Makefile
                      src/
                      ...
