Gnome port forcing Apache 2.0 on me during install

Greetings,

I run Apache 1.3+ssl on a computer that I'm installing Gnome 2.12.2 via
the meta-port in x11/gnome2.  As part of that install, it builds and
installs www/gnome-user-share.  *That* port forces the www/apache20 port
upon me.

Since my version of Apache conflicts with the version it wants,
portmanager dutifully uninstalls my version and installs 2.0 in an
unconfigured state.

Seems to me there should be some sort of warning, opt-out choice, or
choice to pick a different http server (if gnome-user-share permits it)
before doing this to a user.  There are a lot of http servers listed and
maintained in the ports tree.

Are my only options to either suck it up and configure Apache 2.0 for my
~ machine, or ditch gnome-user-share and tell portmanager to never
install it so I can run the web server I want?

Cheers,
- -Wes
