Is this not accurate?
port file depends:apache2 or variant:apache | sort -u | wc -l
      44

> 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.

Might not be that big of a project.
$ echo $MP_SVNDPORTS 
/opt/local/var/macports/sources/svn.macports.org/trunk/dports
$ find $MP_SVNDPORTS -maxdepth 3 -name Portfile -exec echo {} \; -exec grep -E "/apache2" {} \; | grep -B1 -v /Portfile

Some ports would become simpler with apxs in PATH.

/opt/local/var/macports/sources/svn.macports.org/trunk/dports/www/mod_ssi_func/Portfile
...
build {
    foreach mod ${mods} {
        system "cd ${worksrcpath}/${mod} && \
            make APXS=${prefix}/apache20/bin/apxs"
    }
}

destroot {
    foreach mod ${mods} {
        system "cd ${worksrcpath}/${mod} && \
            make install APXS=${prefix}/apache20/bin/apxs DESTDIR=${destroot}"
    }
}
...
becomes
...
build.cmd    apxs
build {
    foreach mod ${mods} {
        build.dir                  ${mod}
        command_exec    build
    }
}

destroot {
    foreach mod ${mods} {
        destroot.dir             ${mod}
        command_exec    destroot
    }
}
...


Removing mtree violations is a worthy topic. That's all from me :)
