Yes, this is ancient though; however, its on my list.

so devel/apr now devel/apr1 could have come from a variety of things
subversion,serf,kde-svn,.....

I guess we might want to delete apr too, but I'm not sure.  The end
result is if you have APACHE_PORT=www/apache20 you going to be tied to
devel/apr0 in the end.  There are about a billion combination to test
the upgrade path for and I'll never be able to catch them all.

The end meaning is
www/apache20 -> devel/apr0
www/apache22 -> devel/apr1

noting that www/apache20 before update conflicts with the new devel/apr0
and         www/apache22 before update conflicts with the new devel/apr1
            depending on flags.

Thats a good check b/c its too new.

I think you followed it right, but I'm unsure how to make it better just
yet.

in your case, the portupgrade -f -o would have been devel/apr0 not
devel/apr1.

I can't tell you how unsupported httpd 2.0.x is upstream.

to quote an httpd dev other then me from less then 5 minutes ago.
