Have you done a complete buildworld/buildkernel/installkernel/reboot 
single/installworld/reboot cycle yet (with mergemasters in appropriate places as documented 
in the handbook)?  I'd strongly recommend that, then if problems persist, try 
pkg_deinstall()ing the apache and reinstalling it from the port.  

There are a lot of things that can get whacked by just slicing over a new library from -
STABLE into a -RELEASE machine.  -STABLE is at 4.9-RC now, so you're almost a full 
point release ahead of where you are coming from.  In FreeBSD terms, that's a lot.  

I'd rebuild apache after that anyway to catch the mod_ssl updates as well.  

Obviously, at this point, I'd clean the usr/obj directory entirely, and do a make cleandir && 
make cleandir in /usr/src before starting the buildworld process.  You may want to re-cvsup 
again following that as well, to ensure everything is in place.  That guarantees you the 
cleanest and most straightforward upgrade path.  

Peace,
