I've taken a good look at what happens in the cookbook. And they do
state that the Apache2 CookBook is mostly self-contained. We don't need
those other dependencies as we can find what we need in macports itself.

Of particular interest to me was the source for the a2* utilities.

Basically, it's just moving files into their right places substituting
values in the files according to the platform. As our platform is static
- macports - I can skip a lot of logic

But bringing apache2 into the mtree as discussed elsewhere will
necessiate modifications to everything under ${prefix}/www as well as
some other ports that reference apxs directly.

I've got my job somewhat cut out for me ;-)
