It *is* 'the other way round'.
If you don't mind building from scratch with SVN, then:

cd /tmp
svn co -r 12618 http://svn.mythtv.org/svn/trunk/mythtv
svn co -r 12618 http://svn.mythtv.org/svn/trunk/myththemes
svn co -r 12618 http://svn.mythtv.org/svn/trunk/mythplugins


will give you /tmp/mythtv etc.
cd into each in turn, and configure,make and make install

If you have previously installed from rpms etc. you had best use 
--prefix=/usr/local as the first argument of configure for mythtv, 
mythplugins etc. and remove the rpm versions (or ensure that 
/usr/local/bin is ahead of /usr/bin in your path, and that 
/usr/local/lib is ahead of /usr/lib in ld.so.conf (and I'm not *sure* 
about that last). Running make distclean first could not hurt.
