Ok, first you determine APXS_PREFIX. Since apache is installed in 
${LOCALBASE} (and APXS is therefore ${LOCALBASE}/sbin/apxs), this is 
${LOCALBASE} too.

Ah, I see. You try to cope with the fact that apxs erroneously installes 
files in LOCALBASE instead of PREFIX:

@cwd ${APXS_PREFIX}
@unexec %D/sbin/apxs -e -A -n %%AP_NAME%% 
%D/%%APACHEMODDIR%%/%%AP_MODULE%%
%%APACHEMODDIR%%/%%AP_MODULE%%
@exec %D/sbin/apxs -e -A -n %%AP_NAME%% %D/%F
@cwd ${PREFIX}

The problem with that is that you call ${APXS_PREFIX}/sbin/apxs, which 
doesn't matter here, since LOCALBASE = APXS_PREFIX, but won't work 
otherwise. Besides, packages will ignore every -p given to pkg_add(1).

So, as far as I understand the situation, it's apxs that should be fixed 
to honor PREFIX, and everything should be fine without the need for the 
hacks in the packing list.

Which means something like:

might do the trick. Sorry for the premature reaction, I should have done 
more research.
