Well, you are some what  expected to follow the port tree. Ports in the 
releases get old quickly. A port that is used as much as Apache is will 
never stay broken for long.

I went back through the Makefiles and didn't find the broken message 
about libtool. I think I stopped before I got to where 4.10 was 
released.

The only mention of broken in the Makefile.doc was when slave ports are 
out of sync. Are your apache dependancies up todate? 

What is your date on /usr/ports/INDEX?

There are a fairly large number of patches in apache2/files to make it 
work on FreeBSD.
