Maybe this is the restart-netchange problem. On some systems, the OS  
may try to load software like apache before the network is  
initialized, thus apache would fail to start properly. There's an  
option you can put in the plist to restart the service when the  
network changes. MacPorts trunk has been updated to provide a way for  
portfiles to request that key in the plist, but we can't add it to  
the portfile until that code from trunk makes its way into a released  
version of MacPorts. You could manually add it to the plist and see  
if that helps.
