If you did not yet have apr-util installed, and installed apache2  
+openldap, then apr-util would also get installed with +openldap, and  
things should have just worked. However, if you already had apr-util  
installed, it would not be reinstalled, even if it did not have the  
"right" set of variants.

Portfiles can only depend on another port being installed, not on a  
particular variant of another port being installed. This is ticket #126.

Once you received the error from apache2 that explained that apr-util  
needed to be built with ldap support, the solution was to uninstall  
the apr-util you already had (sudo port -f uninstall apr-util) and  
reinstall it with the openldap variant (sudo port install apr-util  
+openldap). Then apache2 should install properly.
