This is for everyone, so chime in - I would recommend waiting until
BioRuby v1.1 is released to make the switch. At that point do a
clean checkout of CVS and a commit to SVN. We would lose all
previous change history which could be viewed as a positive or a
negative. I like the idea of a clean break to the new repository
since we wouldn't have to bring along any potential "cruft" from the
CVS repository and we could start fresh.
Not to mention it would be monumentally easier. ;)
If this sounds like a good plan I'll start coordinating with Chris D.

Personally I prefer to compile it from source - it's typically a
rather painless process. (./configure; make; sudo make install - you
get the idea)
Alternatively you could try downloading a prepackaged binary, I found
one here:

Don't forget to add /usr/local/bin to your path as well, something
along the lines of:
export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/bin
I haven't had a chance to answer one of your earlier questions, but
yes I believe Subversion is included in the next version of OS X.
