1)
Realistically, you'd need to roll your own www/apacheXX+mod_dav_acl port and
it would not be a SLAVE port of anyother www/apacheXX port.

Then mod_caldav would BUILD/RUN_DEPENDS on that port.

2) You could try submitting a patch that does
WITH_FOO_BAR=yes conditional to one the www/apacheXX ports.

IF set, it applies your patch.

Later, your mod_dav_acl would need to check somehow if that patch had been
applied.  If not, set
IGNORE="Need www/apacheXX WITH_FOO_BAR support enabled"
to stop the build.

the mod_dav_acl port should always set the WITH_FOO_BAR=yes flag so that all
of the following sequences would work:

a)
$ cd www/mod_cal_dav ; make

b)
$ cd www/mod_dav_acl ; make
$ cd www/mod_cal_dav ; make

c)
$ cd /www/apacheXX ; make WITH_FOO_BAR=yes
$ cd www/mod_dav_acl ; make
$ cd www/mod_cal_dav ; make
