Because not everyone needs them? But SSL is on by default, so I'm
not sure what went wrong for you.

If you build a port with non-standard options, you need to tell
portupgrade what those are if you expect it to keep those options
turned on when it rebuilds your software.
ports that use the OPTIONS interface will do this automatically.
personally, I set various options in my /etc/make.conf file like this:
.if ${.CURDIR:M*/www/apache2}
WITH_PROXY_MODULES=YES
.endif
so that no matter how I rebuild a port it gets the proper options set.

Did you de-install all depending ports as well, because mod_dav_svn
is a port that depends on apache2 being installed.
I'd recommend setting your non-default options in /etc/make.conf and
then letting portupgrade take care of the rest.
