As you were using portupgrade, man pkgtools.conf

An Apache20 installation could look like this:

        'www/apache20' => [
                '-DWITH_PROXY_MODULES',
                '-DWITH_AUTH_MODULES',
                '-DWITH_SSL_MODULES',
                '-DWITH_LDAP_MODULES',
        ],

Why not? Defining a module should not change the default modules/catagories.
