Apache 2.0.46 fixed 2 more security bugs; CAN-2003-0134 and CAN-2003-0189.
Because apache 2.0.* is a bugfix-only branch nowadays and 2.0.46 has no
brand new features than 2.0.45. I see that updating to 2.0.46 before
5.1-RELEASE would be okay.

The patch on ports/52768 looks fine except that is malformed and missing
diff for pkg-plist. Thank you anyway! :)
A fixed patch is available at http://people.freebsd.org/~perky/apache-2.0.4=
6.diff
