I have apache2 working fine on FreeBSD 5.2.1-RELEASE-p13.
In /etc/rc.conf I have a line that reads:

apache2_enable="YES"

and in /usr/local/etc/rc.d, I have:

-rwxr-x--x  1 root  wheel   183 Dec 28 13:55 000.apache2libs.sh
-rwxr-x--x  1 root  wheel  2047 Dec 28 13:55 apache2.sh

Apache2 starts normally at boot time.
