mod_rewrite comes with Apache if you build it from the ports tree AFAIK. 
Check out /usr/local/libexec/apache and see if you have a 
mod_rewrite.so. If you do, all you have to do is enable it in your 
httpd.conf.

I haven't touched this box for a while due to my work schedule, now I'm trying to pick up where I left off... I just install ed WordPress from ports, trying to use it to learn PHP and MySQL.  (At work, I'm almost 100% SQL Server only!  I'm hoping to change to a Linux / Oracle, Data Warehouse type of position.... but outside of work, I would like to learn some PHP, Perl and MySQL... may be start a little side web biz or something...)
