It's historical. apache2 used to install his own version of apr. When 
I grab maintainership, I decided to keep the old path to respect POLA, 
since apache 2.0.x was already stable.
apache21 port is designed to replace devel/apr or to use it if 
installed from port. Currently apache 2.1 is a "moving" version and it's
port follow the same way. The day apache 2.2 will be considered as stable,
port will be frozen, and keep the same options, or at least backwark 
compatible options.

To answer Paul, I'll blindly depend on devel/apr when I can descently 
rely to apr-*-config or whatever to know run time options. Another 
point is that, IMHO, I need to guarantee apache users backward 
compatiblity, like multiple bdb versions support.
Current apr/ports framework need to support this. First of all is to 
finish USE_APACHE=apr. After that, we'll try to unify apr/svn/apache.
