What about storing other data in a Subversion Repository. I would
also store revisions of my websites, Binary releases of the products
I create, zip files, etc. Is this an OK use and reliable? What about
storing Word documents and PDF's to tract revision history? I could
do this in CVS.

As for files: in general you can think of Subversion as a better CVS.
I save all sorts of files in it.
I'd echo that. Subversion is easy to set up, powerful, and you can
import all your CVS history from it (though depending on the complexity
of your branching structures, you might need to do a few attempts). One
great advantage over CVS is that you don't need to worry about defining
files as text or binary. See http://cvs2svn.tigris.org/features.html
for the conversion tool.
If you are using it for lots of other sorts of files in different
locations then I would look beyond Xcode as a client -- I've been using
SmartSVN quite reliably, though there are others (free and commercial).
I find Xcode's support useful for doing a quick diff or log of a
particular file in a project, but for any other operations I'll do them
in the client.
