may be I have a clue but am not certain which step was responsible for finally 
getting apr to compile so I am going through what I did in the hope it may 
help I cannot guarantee I have remembered everything because it was spread 
over many hours whilst doing many other tasks!!
1. 
I revisited UPDATING and found I had skipped: 
20090802:
  AFFECTS: users of devel/libtool15 and devel/libltdl15
  AUTHOR: mezz at FreeBSD.org

  The devel/libtool15 and devel/libltdl15 ports have been moved to libtool22
  and libltdl22 respectively then updated to 2.2.6a. You will need to run
  portmaster or portupgrade to properly perform the upgrade:

and followed the instructions there.
2. I did portupgrade -af

3. I then deinstalled devel/apr.

4. I deinstalled and recompiled python2.6

5. I then recompiled devel/apr and voila!!
