Thanks for the input. 
There was no way that apache22 was going to install with the apr. I 
tried everything imaginable and referred to your suggestions. 
Finally, I removed apr, removed the configuration files from the /work 
directory, redid config without apr and did config-recursive. 
Much to my surprise, it worked... now to install php5 and php5 
extensions and try it all out.

I read somewhere to put this in my make.conf file.

I have had no problems at all with apache, php or mysql working.
