'rpm -q --qf '%{NAME} %{ARCH}\n' subversion will show that you have i386
and x86_64 packages installed, which is normal. The rpmforge repo seems
to only have the x86_64 version, leaving the newer x86_64 package to
conflict with the older i386 package.
Options:
1) Disable rpmforge
2) Exclude subversion from rpmforge .repo
3) 'rpm -e --allmatches subversion; yum install subversion'
