 Replying to [comment:16 larryv@…]:
 > The Apache portfile itself should install the mod_hfs_apple module
 unconditionally. There should be no variant, as variants provide a choice.

 Yeah I agree. We can also modify the default httpd.conf file to activate
 it for new users. However we still have to decide whether to automatically
 modify existing users' httpd.conf files and in that case whether or not to
 automatically restart the server for them. I'm inclined to modify the conf
 file, even though that's not usually done, because users probably won't
 know they should do it, and notes can be easily overlooked. The port could
 print a message telling them this has been done. However I would not
 restart the server automatically because users should already be in the
 habit of doing that after upgrading a port that provides a server, and/or
 it should be something MacPorts base would take care of for all ports.
