Delete the version of Apache2 you installed yourself, and install it from ports, remembering to add 'apache2_enable="YES"' to /etc/rc.conf. The ports version contains all of the required rc.d scripts to get itself started automatically on bootup. The standard distribution doesn't. That's why they call them ports, you know; because the software is /ported/ onto FreeBSD incorporating all necessary changes to make them work the FreeBSD way, and so you don't have to keep redoing all that stuff yourself.
