--- Comment #11 from Bernard Spil <brnrd at freebsd.org> ---
Just read your post to freebsd-ports@ from 2017-Nov.

I can see us adding mechanism to Mk/Uses/apache.mk to build modules.

Thinking up to now...

Add arg module to USES= apache to signal that we're building a module. This
would also allow us to document more closely.

AP_FAST_BUILD to be renamed and used as auto-build and install mechanism. It is
not FAST, just an easier template for plist generation and installation.
Install is using @sample to install into modules.d and echo message on
enabling.
modules.d files can also use @sample template as they should adhere to 

> # LoadModule modname
> <IfModule modname>
> ModuleConf here
> </IfModule>

to force it not to auto-load include not fail after installation.
The whole ap-gen-plist target could possibly disappear by using PLIST_FILES
instead.

mod_phpNN is a difficult one altogether, it should be ap24-mod_phpNN (or
ap22-mod_phpNN) but I guess that'll break lang/phpNN's Makefile.
