5.5-pre as of yesterday
apache13-modssl

    # apachectl startssl
    httpd: bad user name nobody
    /usr/local/sbin/apachectl startssl: httpd could not be started

this had been running well for a looooong timd

googled and found

    psg.com:/usr/ports/www/apache13-modssl# diff -c Makefile~ Makefile
    *** Makefile~   Thu Feb  9 06:51:54 2006
    --- Makefile    Sun Mar 26 07:23:53 2006
    ***************
    *** 140,146 ****
		    --logfiledir=${APACHE_LOGFILE_DIR} \
		    --without-confadjust \
		    --enable-module=most \
    -               --enable-module=auth_db \
		    --enable-module=mmap_static \
		    --disable-module=auth_dbm \
		    --enable-shared=max \
    --- 140,145 ----

and that seemed to fix it
