It depends on which version you've installed (was it www/apache20?
www/apache21?)

Have a look at 'pkg-message' file in the ports tree, here's for apache22
for example:

% $ cat /usr/ports/www/apache22/pkg-message
% To run apache www server from startup, add apache22_enable="YES"
% in your /etc/rc.conf. Extra options can be found in startup script.

HTH,
