I'm using Ubuntu 10.10 and I could like to install Subversion. I don't need http access to the files and I would like to use SSH. The majority of the examples I've seen on how to install Subversion use Apache. I don't want to install Apache on my sever since I'm using NGINX. Can I just install Subversion without installing Apache? If yes, how? Thank you!

If you don't need HTTP access to your subversion repository, all you need to do is just install subversion and create a repository like this:
svnadmin create /path/to/repository
Then you can check out local copies directly:
svn co /path/to/repository /path/to/my/checkout
Or over ssh:
svn co svn+ssh://server/path/to/repository
If your packaging system is trying to install Apache with subversion, that is a packaging issue. However in Ubuntu, the subversion package does not require apache. Its requirements are:
Depends: libsvn1 (= 1.6.12dfsg-1ubuntu1), libapr1 (>= 1.2.7), libc6 (>= 2.4), libsasl2-2
Suggests: subversion-tools, db4.8-util, patch
