I'm not sure I understand your intent.  Certainly a
version controlled backed PageStore could be created
that integrates with subversion or other version
control systems (attributes could become subversion
attributes, page history -> file history,) but it
doesn't sound like that's what you mean?  So what
then?  

Certainly subvsersion already has a web front end, so
you could reference files in the repo using links,
maybe even create a special intermap markup for it? 
Referencing older revisions might be a little harder
with the standard webdav interface, but there are
other front ends that let you do that (I think webCVS
does subversion?)

What else is left?  Embedding your subversion content
directly in a web page with source code highlighting
using something like the SourceBlock recipe, and then
wiki comments/text around it (above, below, but not
within?)

None of this seems particularly useful, especially
since there are already nice web front ends to
subversion.  Was the goal to provide an easier
mechanism to customize such front ends using wiki
markup?  Were you asking the question to brainstorm or
because you had a particular application in mind?
