New description:

 The version of mod_fcgid (2.2) is pretty old by now. Which is too bad,
 because 2.3.5 fixes some OS X bugs.
 (I only looked at it because my apache kept giving HTTP 500 errors, with
 "Resource temporarily unavailable: mod_fcgid: write data to fastcgi server
 error".)

 Maybe that went unnoticed because the repository changed... (It's not
 sourceforge anymore.) It also has a somewhat new build process; I guess
 it's standard Apache's now.

 I'm a new MacOS & MacPorts user, so I just trial-and-errored my way though
 things and came halfway creating an updated Portfile.
 I got through the fetch / checksum / extract / patch parts, but got tired
 at 'configure'.
 (I don't know how to run a nonstandard command.)

 So after the 'patch' phase, I just ran the following by hand (from the
 build dir):
 {{{
 APXS=/opt/local/apache2/bin/apxs ./configure.apxs
 make
 rm /opt/local/apache2/modules/mod_fcgid.so
 cp modules/fcgid/.libs/mod_fcgid.so
 /opt/local/apache2/modules/mod_fcgid.so
 }}}

 ...and after a restart, my apache stopped crashing. So I'm happy for now
 :)

 Maybe someone wants to use my updates to build a working Portfile?
 I'll try to attach:
  - half-functional Portfile
  - diff to the existing Portfile (so you can see what I did so far)
  - an updated patch-fcgid_conf.c (copy it over the existing one)

 It went unnoticed because nobody was looking; mod_fcgid has no maintainer
 in MacPorts at this time.
