Comment:

 Changing subject to match what was requested. Indeed we may be able to run
 apxs automatically, but doesn't that just add a line to the httpd.conf?
 I'm not confident we should be modifying the httpd.conf automatically; I
 feel the user should take responsibility for the contents of this file.
 For comparison, when installing php5 +fastcgi, we don't set up the FastCGI
 support in any way. We don't even know what web server the user wants to
 use the FastCGI binary with. So there, too, the user must set up their web
 server as desired.

 If anything is done for this ticket, it should apply to both apache and
 apache2, and to the php4, php5 and php5-devel ports.
