Ports are very nice, but if you are going to be running your business on 
Apache + PHP I would *strongly* suggest downloading and installing both 
from the source.  It's not that hard, and you will need to know the 
particulars of each to be able to administer them and fix problems (like 
this one.)

If you want to know what is causing the core dump, check the Apache 
error_log, there is usually a message in there.  If not, check 
/var/log/messages.

I've been running Apache + PHP for about 3 years now, on every version of 
FreeBSD since 2.x and *many* versions of Apache and PHP, and I have never 
had a core dump that I didn't cause.  Then again, I never installed from 
the ports... I don't like the directories the port install uses and I make 
to many customizations to PHP.

By the way, I'm not bashing the ports, I think they are great!  There are 
many programs I use that I install from the ports, however, Apache and PHP 
are not two of them.
