Actually it does not strictly require apache, you only need it if you want to use the CGI interface. But there is a command line interface to it, and you could also use it only to send out notifications. So apache is not strictly required and IMHO there should not be a dependancy on it. > 3.

Have you submitted them to the netsaint-plugins authors? You forgot to add the subst.in patch, but I think I figured out the problem and produced a patch myself which will appear in the next port update. Also, check_ntp complains that it can't find xntpdc (because it's called ntpdc). I've removed the call to xntpdc, so that it only tries to run ntpdc.
