when using trac, I understand it lets you hook into subversion to see the source code etc. in the browser.
does the subversion repo have to be on the same server as the trac install?

Not as such, but there is at least one workaround: SVNSyncPlugin. It is not regarded totally stable though, read the notes on the page. I don't know of any other way to run trac with a remote svn repository.
Also, check out @techtonik's link in the other answer.
An alternative would be to try Shun-ichi GOTO plugin for remote SVN access from http://www.meadowy.org/~gotoh/hg/remote-svn-plugin/
SvnsyncPlugin doesn't support svn 1.6.*, it just broken my repo, after trying to configure it.
