Sure it is a great place to set options...

Try something like this:

.if ${.CURDIR:M*/lang/erlang}
WITHOUT_ODBC=YES
WITHOUT_JAVA=YES
.endif


to set specific options for specific ports.

As for requesting Apache 2, I find it best to first install apache  
version you want, then letting the ports find the one that is  
installed, rather than expecting them to install the right version.   
That said, this is honored by many ports:

WITH_APACHE2=YES
