So, are you saying that mod_jk from ports works for Tomcat 4.1.18 even 
though it's only intended for 3?  The ports collection does have a 
Tomcat 4.1.18 port (www/jakarta-tomcat41) and I definitely agree that a 
mod_jk2 port needs to happen.  If I knew anything about making ports, I 
might be inclined to give it a shot myself, but I haven't the slightest 
idea how to go about making that happen.
