port?

I've decided to try to build up my 1st FreeBSD server.
Reading the Handbook is mostly helpful, but I' getting hit with a couple of
problems I can't figure out.
I was looking for a beginner's list. I think this is the closest to it.
The main reason I'm trying out FreeBSD is because I want to set up my own
web server, and the Ports seemed liked a way to do it that manages conflicts
& dependencies better even that Linux systems. Not being much of a program
guy, that sounds good to me!
When I try to install the Apache port in /usr/ports/www/apache22, it errors
out with
IGNORED
Unknown Berkeley DB version
After checking on the Oracle site, I made sure to install the latest, most
up to date /usr/ports/databases/db46 port. It seems to have worked and I
can use it in other ports.
I'm not sure where to turn next.
Anybody got some advice to share?
Regards,
Jeff
