The port would have tried to install Apache 2.0 over Apache 2.2 if the 
port Makefile had USE_APACHE=20 in it.  The port should be changed to 
USE_APACHE=20+ unless the port is specific to Apache 2.0.  Adding 
port-specific variables to /etc/make.conf isn't wrong, but 
/etc/make.conf is global.  You should limit the scope of ports variables 
by wrapping the variables with a .CURDIR evaluation.  For example:

.if ${.CURDIR:M*/mail/postfix}
BATCH=yes
POSTFIX_OPTIONS=SASL2 SPF TLS MySQL
.endif

The above defines BATCH and POSTFIX_OPTIONS iff make was invoked in a 
directory ending in /mail/postfix.  See make(1) for more details.
