Hi,
to be honest, I am unsure whether SVN fits the boost development model any better than CVS does, and propose to look at using git/cogito instead.
Git/cogito is too new, I doubt anybody uses that except the Linux kernel folks.
Besides that, git has the IMO very valuable separation between commits and pushes, that is, you can commit single changes offline and only synchronize to the next upstream repository when there is a network connection, which may be of great help for some developers.
Have you looked at SVK? It can complement Subversion nicely. With the Subversion/SVK combination you can get the benefits of both centralized and distributed version control - whichever suits you most. I.e. there is a centralized Subversion repository, but each developer can mirror it locally with SVK and work offline, synchronizing with the master repository from time to time.
