This way you will be able to install an Apache+php+ssl+fp+dav+dtcl+..... server without having to write the port your self. Instead you just install one of the module ports. You will need to uninstall your apache server, then install mod_php4 (mod_php4 by default installs apache13), if you need SSL support you will need to install apache13-modssl first. As for your config files, copy your changes from apache.conf into httpd.conf and you should be back in business.
