Is making the sub-projects subdirectories within a single subversion 
repository a problem? (authentication boundaries maybe?)

I have a similar model in terms of libraries and applications but I've 
done this in a single svn repo:

/libs/mylib1/{trunk,releases,branches}
/libs/mylib2/{trunk,releases,branches}
/apps/myapp1/{trunk,releases,branches}
/regression/ # scripts to run tests across libs and apps

It works very nicely with trac as you can have global and per sub 
element roadmaps (use naming conventions) and components per sub project 
in the ticketing system. The developers love it as they only have one 
url to visit for everything (and one svn repo).

Might not work in all environments I admit.
