I found what the problem is:

.if defined(WITH_MOD_DAV_SVN)
pre-install:
	${APXS} -e -S LIBEXECDIR=${PREFIX}/libexec/apache2 -a -n dav
libexec/apache2/mod_dav.so
.endif

the variable APXS is not defined in the Makefile for the port.  This
is why you are getting the "-e: not found" error as make is trying to
run the "-e" program.

This port needs to either define APXS or set the USE_APACHE variable
to define which apache port it depends on, and to defined the APXS
variable.
