No, it isn't that drastic - just some extra steps. The old way was:
http://subversion.tigris.org/faq.html#in-place-import
But I think there may be an even easier way now
http://subversion.tigris.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=1328 (although you'd 
need the current subversion pacakage from rpmforge instead of the stock 
centos version.  And in any case you'll want viewvc or a similar web 
viewer for easier access.
