It's not good for a port to behave differently depending on what else the user has installed. A port should behave identically on everyone's system (modulo such details as OS version and processor architecture).

Instead, I recommend some variants to let the user select whether they want to use MacPorts Apache 1, MacPorts Apache 2, or whatever Apache Apple includes with Mac OS X.


variant apache conflicts apache2 apache_apple description {Use MacPorts Apache 1} {
        depends_run-append port:apache
        set cgi_path "${prefix}/www/cgi-bin/"
}

variant apache2 conflicts apache apache_apple description {Use MacPorts Apache 2} {
        depends_run-append port:apache2
        set cgi_path "${prefix}/apache2/cgi-bin/"
}

variant apache_apple conflicts apache apache2 description {Use Apple Apache} {
        set cgi_path "/Library/WebServer/CGI-Executables/"
}

if {![variant_isset apache] && ![variant_isset apache2] && ! [variant_isset apache_apple]} {
        default_variants +apache2
}


Actually there are also web servers other than Apache -- lighttpd for example...
