Adding an extra Apache DSO module after 'make install'

List,

Having built an Apache 2.0.58 from ports and watching it run, I realise 
that I forgot to include mod_negotiation. Is it possible to return the 
the ports directory, rebuild the package, this time with the addition 
module, and simply take the built mod_negotation.so and add it to the 
libexec/apache2 directory?

Either that, or is there a more general method within the ports 
framework of taking a mod_*.c file and converting it to a DSO for 
inclusion with httpd after the fact? I.e, if possible I would like to 
avoid reinstalling the httpd world, but on the other hand, I don't want 
the new .so file to cause a segfault because of some sort of API mismatch.

Thanks,
David Landgren
