Some of the ports assumed that the data.default directory was free to remove -- if data was still symlinked then you were out of luck. What I have always done has been to remove the symlink and recreate the data directory as a real directory. This method has never caused me any problems since FreeBSD 4.2 w/ Apache 1.3.12 through FreeBSD 4.6 w/ Apache 2.0.39.
