Using the mod_svn module for apache you can access the repository not onl via SVN client but also directly via HTTP using the same URL. You only get a plain directory listing showing the HEAD revision in such a case.
It is possible (may be via URL parameters) to access older revisions of the SVN repository if they has net been copied/tagged within the SVN?
I know that there are 3rd party software that allows to do so like ViewCV or WebSVN but I am interested in how far you get with only a plain SVN repository accessible via mod_svn and HTTP(S).

You can either store your repositories locally and access them using the file:// protocol or you can place them on a server and access them with the http:// or svn:// protocols. The two server protocols can also be encrypted. You use https:// or svn+ssh:// , or you can use svn:// with SASL.
You can use the r querystring parameter to access older versions of files and directory listings with mod_dav_svn. For example:
http://host.example.com/repos/project/trunk/README.txt?r=1234
The SVN Book has more details on how this works.
