I'm not sure about the archive angle, but the following is working for me in Xcode 4 (i.e. my app is listed in organiser as Foo 1.0.307)

1. Manually set the CFBundleShortVersionString (aka "Bundle versions string, short") value in your info.plist to your major.minor build number (e.g. 1.0)

2. Add a 'run script' build phase to your project with the following script

   REV=`svnversion -nc | /usr/bin/sed -e 's/^[^:]*://;s/[A-Za-z]//'`
   BASEVERNUM=`/usr/libexec/PlistBuddy -c "Print :CFBundleShortVersionString" "${INFOPLIST_FILE}"`
   /usr/libexec/PlistBuddy -c "Set :CFBundleVersion $BASEVERNUM.$REV" "${INFOPLIST_FILE}"
   

3. Clean and build (the Clean step forces Xcode to reprocess the info.plist).

BTW you can also access this version number inside your app (e.g. on your 'about' page) using [[NSBundle mainBundle] objectForInfoDictionaryKey:@"CFBundleVersion"]
