Apache.
Check the shell script /usr/local/sbin/envvars. In short, any file 
in /usr/local/etc/apache22/envvars.d is sourced into the start up environment 
of apache, through /usr/local/etc/rc.d/apache22 start up script. Unless a 
module or script explicitly cleans the environment before forking an external 
program, the variabels set at start up are preserved.

The following should work for you:
echo "export PATH=$PATH" > /usr/local/etc/apache22/envvars.d/PATH

You may want to clean out the path a bit more, pending your security policies.

Problem with today's modular software: they start with the modules
    and never get to the software part.
