Did you install mod_dav_svn (Apach httpd module)
or the standalone svnserve?

If it is mod_dav_svn, just make sure that Apache httpd is started automatically:

sudo /sbin/chkconfig httpd on
(or via System > Administration > Services if you have the UI).

I never used seriously the the standalone svnserve, but I guess you
would have to start it explicitly either by:
- adding the command in /etc/rc.local (called by each reboot, but may
be not so clean?)
- write your own script under /etc/init.d

I would definitely suggest to use it as an httpd module (much easier
and flexible).
It requires a little Apache config though:
http://svnbook.red-bean.com/en/1.5/svn.serverconfig.httpd.html
(note that this link is for SVN 1.5, but the config is the same for
SVN 1.4, which is the one provided by CentOS base)

How did you install it... from rpm? source?
Using builtin auth or ssh?
What does the documentation say?
Does it provide an init.rd script?
If so, check 'chkconfig'

Unless you have some specific reason to run the standalone server, I'd 
recommend installing mod_dav_svn and using apache as the server (just 
edit /etc/httpd/conf.d/subversion.conf with the repository location). 
Also, the stock version supplied with Centos is very old.  There's a 
more current version maintained in the rpmforge repo.
