Github has an option when creating a new repository, to import from an existing (public) Subversion repository. However, this only works if Github itself can reach your Subversion repository. Since your Subversion repository exists only on your local machine, you may find it easier to convert the repository to Git format first, then upload it to Github (which you can do with a simple git push).
