Since mod_perl2 is broken with apache24 I limited the supported apache version to apache22 until upstream has a new release out.

Users depending on mod_perl2 can always use the described workaround from the warning or ports/UPDATING:20140713 during package building

Overwrite the default apache version for port/package building:
  $ echo "DEFAULT_VERSIONS+=apache=2.2" >> /etc/make.conf


Anyway waiting until mod_perl2 has support for apache24 has also some drawbacks also the mod_perl2 / apache24 issues are well known since 2012.
