Might be a temporary workaround. In the meantime, I'm trying to install Apache 2.2 on a small server. So far, just to build the port, the machine has built Perl, Python, m4, Berkeley DB, and an incredible assortment of other stuff that I do not want or need on that machine! And because the "make distclean" command in the FreeBSD ports system does not remove code for dependencies, I'll have tons of source -- including GPLed code, which I do not want to touch -- on the machine unless I do a painstaking manual search and removal.
