Intentional.  It bundles APR and APR-Util 1.x.  These name their -config
 with the <major> version in them so in theory you can have APR 0.9.xx
and 1.xx installed at the same time.

Unfortunately, FreeBSD still uses the Bundled APR/APR-Util for apache.
It really needs to depend on an external APR/APR-Util port, and then it
can share it properly with things like Subversion.  Most other packaging
systems have gone down this path...
