That ticket isn't really the same issue as yours. In that ticket, / 
opt/apache2/bin/apxs did not exist, therefore it failed. In your  
case, however, /opt/apache2/bin/apxs does seem to exist, yet some  
error is still encountered.

The variant presumably exists (and therefore shows up in port info  
and port variants) because at some point somebody requested it.

It's presumably unsupported because to support it would require  
access to Mac OS X Server, which is an expensive piece of software I  
would guess most port maintainers do not have.

You do need the Apache 2 web server and the mod_dav_svn module to  
serve a repository via http/WebDAV. But it does not need to be  
Apple's Apache 2 included with Mac OS X Server. It could instead be  
the MacPorts apache2 port, which ought to work on Mac OS X Server  
just as well as it does on Mac OS X (client). However, you would then  
have an apache2 that is separate from and not configurable by the Mac  
OS X Server Admin tools.

Ok, what's the relevant section of your httpd.conf say?
