Yep, that would be totally kosher, though we'd need to be careful to
secure it down to turn off all unused functionality.

I've been installing apache from ports quite a bit, actually - they did a
reorg to split some modules out into their own ports instead of combo
ports. My only complaint is that it's not done in a menu-driven way to
select things like suexec and which modules to enable/disable, but that's
more apache's fault than freebsd. From a port, it's always been a simple
matter of make install then apachectl start for a basic setup.

Agreed.
