This is probably where all your damage is coming from.  USE_APACHE is  
an internal variable, to be set by ports only.  By setting it in  
make.conf, every port you install gets a dependency on Apache 2.2.

Another side effect is that apache 2.2 then depends on itself (a  
circular dependency), which is why you end up with thousands of make  
processes .
