First of all, Trac works with VisualSVN Server without any problems. Generally speaking, any bug tracker that supports Subversion should work well with VisualSVN Server and its repositories.

It is recommended to host Trac on a standalone server or on another Apache HTTP Server instance. Check these Trac docs that should help you:

• http://trac.edgewall.org/wiki/TracOnWindows
• http://trac.edgewall.org/wiki/TracSubversion.

VisualSVN Team does not recommend hosting Trac on the same Apache HTTP Server instance that is packaged with VisualSVN Server. However, it should be technically possible with help of mod_wsgi module (packaged with the server beginning with version 3.3.0) and Python 2.7 bindings (packaged with the server beginning with version 3.2.0).

Both mod_wsgi module and Python 2.7 bindings were specially packaged with VisualSVN Server to help you install Trac or any other tools requiring them, so everything needed for installing and configuring Trac is ready. It is possible to run Trac on top of mod_wsgi and the following instruction should help http://trac.edgewall.org/wiki/TracModWSGI

PS: Some time ago VisualSVN Team provided a plug-in that helped to install Trac in a couple of easy steps. The plug-in was never officially released or supported and it is not available anymore.
