Good idea or bad idea, it doesn't really matter.  I actually kind of
like it.  More importantly, you'll need to update Mk/bsd.apache.mk
regarding APACHE_PORT.  And every end-user will need to update
/etc/make.conf to reflect this too.

If might be useful to coordinate this with the default switch from 1.3
to 2.2 b/c then supposedly most people who are using 2.2 can simply
remove then line.  And the fewer, still needing 1.3 will need to add one
anyway.


Food to chew on......
