No, this will not work.
Xcode does not use the svn executable, but the svn dynamic libraries instead. While it is possible to just symlink the dylibs that Xcode is using to the new dylibs, I _strongly_ advise against it, because it is likely to break when Apple updates svn for OS X (which will happen sooner or later).
If you need to use a newer version of svn, then my advice is to do so from the command line, or using a GUI tool other than Xcode.
Sorry, this is the best advice I can offer

Anyway, even when I prepend the custom path, the path components in PATH will be reordered so that /usr/bin is again in the front after login in. Any clues, why this have been done that way?
