I also had a problem like that. After some time I gave up and installed
Apache 2.2 with PHP and MySQL which needs some manual configuration that
is done automatically in the Fink distribution, but at least it works,
and all packages are far more up to date. Only now Fink's Apache has
caught up to the current version after a long time.

But now I also tried to get Fink's Apache to work, just in case there's
something not available on MacPorts. It took some time: I tried to
remove everything with apache or php in its name, but I always got
configuration problems. I the end I tried the more rude way:

dpkg --purge php5
fink list php5
dpkg --purge apache2
dpkg --purge apache2-common
dpkg --purge apache2-mpm-prefork

And finally I could intall apache2 again. But all in all MacPorts seems
to be less problematic than Fink. But maybe it's onl because I've been
using Fink for years and MacPorts only for some months. And you have to
compile everything on MacPorts, there's no binary distribution like on Fink.
