I'm glad to announce that svnwiki's CGI program finally supports authentication. I think I spent more time talking with people about this previously unexistant feature than actually implementing it. What it means is that you can now provide your Subversion authentication tokens when editing some file or posting comments and svnwiki will use them to commit your changes.

Furthermore, you can set svnwiki:authenticate to yes on a file to have svnwiki only let authenticated users modify it. If you set it on a directory, it will affect its contents recursively.

I should mention that Arhuaco helped me implement this.
