The first two do not examine web application payloads originated from
requests.
Snort is not oriented either for this type of detection/prevention..
starting only for the fact that blocking this would have to interface
with pf instead of giving a 400 error page in the browser of the
client by apache. Correct me if iam wrong?

As i said, modsecurity 2 is only compatible with apache2, otherwise I
would be able to install modsecurity2 on top of apache1 and that is
not the case because of library differences.
