The only one I can think of is that tons of other ports currently assume that's the layout. Thus changing the apache2 layout requires changing tons of ports in unison.

If we instead made a new apache24 port we would be free to give it any layout we wanted, and then over time adapt all the other ports to depend on apache24 instead of apache2. It would still be an unpleasant time for users of those ports until all of them are converted and apache2 is deprecated.
