You can do the redirection like this:

find /var/svn/* \( ! -name dir -prune \) -type d -exec sh -c 'svnadmin dump {} > {}.svn' \;

and the correct substitution will be done.

No, however you can write a simple bash script to do that then call it from find.
Example (/tmp/dump.sh):

#!/bin/sh
svn admin dump "$1" > "$1".svn

then:

find /var/svn/* \( ! -name dir -prune \) -type d -exec sh /tmp/dump.sh '{}' \;
