Auto starting apache on bootup

[Gerard Samuel]

Haven't been around the list for a while (just moved).
But I finally upgraded some ports, and apache (1.3.31) no longer starts up 
automatically, even though the file /usr/local/etc/rc.d/apache.sh exists.
I noticed that in the apache port pkg-message file, it says to add 
apache_enable="YES" to /etc/rc.conf
Is this the *new* way of doing things???
Thanks
