Apache2 / PHP4 / port marked as broken

Hello,

Pointyhat has added mod_vhs ports as broken because default lang/php4 is 
  linked / dependency with apache1 only.

The problem is my port is not borken but the default dependency of php4 
asumes that php4 is compiled with apache1.

Problems is that mod_vhs works ONLY with apache1 and _needs_ php4 to 
work correctly.

I really think this a shame that a leaf port is marken broken because of 
defaults dependencies that asumes some default.

Now excepted adding a IGNORE when BATCH and PACKAGE_BUILDING I don't see 
any better solution than adding php4-apache2 new port...

We cannot make leaf ports for every OPTIONS inside each port that have 
options.

This should be fixed in some way.

Have ideas ?

/Xavier
