Putting 'store-passwords = no' in the [global] section of hte 'server' config should have the desired effect. While passwords won't be cached, the username will still be chached. The no-auth-cache option is the one that disables the entire ~/.subversion/auth area -- this option also affects caching of usernames, SSL certs, etc.
