You should normally be able to build from git-cygwin-packages repo for 
subversion containing cygport, patches, and any other Cygwin files, but 
the current release has not yet been checked in at:

https://cygwin.com/git-cygwin-packages/?p=git/cygwin-packages/subversion.git

although you can see from the tree 21 patches were available to apply.

So you have to download the source package which will include the 
current cygport, patches, and any other Cygwin files.

It is often a good idea also to look for relevant source patches 
available in packages' sources from upstream, as well as other distros 
such as Fedora (closely related to and used by some to build some Cygwin 
tools, parts of releases, and packages), Debian, MacPorts, and OpenSuSE 
where available:

https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/subversion/tree/rawhide
https://salsa.debian.org/lts-team/packages/subversion/-/tree/master/debian/patches
https://github.com/macports/macports-ports/tree/0a3636ef019083102b8eb19ba230d173a2a37afe/devel/subversion/files
https://github.com/bmwiedemann/openSUSE/tree/master/packages/s/subversion
[Thanks to those who pointed me to those package sources repos]
