hmmm... I'd recommend getting the bin from apache.org:

goto ftp.apache.org;
cd to /apache/dist/binaries/freebsd_2.1/
get the file apache_1.0.0-freebsd-2.1.tar.gz

untar it, modify the .conf files a little bit,
then u should be able to just run it.

I don't like those ports thing from freebsd.org, they don't
work very well, imho.  :)
