It's historical. apache2 used to install his own version of apr. When=20
I grab maintainership, I decided to keep the old path to respect POLA,=20
since apache 2.0.x was already stable.
apache21 port is designed to replace devel/apr or to use it if=20
installed from port. Currently apache 2.1 is a "moving" version and it's
port follow the same way. The day apache 2.2 will be considered as stable,
port will be frozen, and keep the same options, or at least backwark=20
compatible options.

To answer Paul, I'll blindly depend on devel/apr when I can descently=20
rely to apr-*-config or whatever to know run time options. Another=20
point is that, IMHO, I need to guarantee apache users backward=20
compatiblity, like multiple bdb versions support.
Current apr/ports framework need to support this. First of all is to=20
finish USE_APACHE=3Dapr. After that, we'll try to unify apr/svn/apache.
