 * open: No such file or directory
 * Cannot open lock file

 * I've been following the Apache ports since the early 1.2 betas, and this
 * is the first time I've had a problem. Is it the port or (much more
 * likely) me that is broken?

I saw the same problem.  After some looking around in the source, I
created a directory "/usr/local/etc/apache/logs" and apache now starts
fine.

The name of this directory (nor any of the strings "logs" "lock",
upper-case or not) doesn't appear in any of the config files in
/usr/local/etc/apache, I'm not sure what to make of it.
