It seems that the main problem arises from usage of OPTIONS.
If I had specified WITH_LDAP_MODULES (a category), both modules (ldap
and authnz_ldap) would have been included. If I had specified
WITH_LDAP, according to 'make show-options', it would have implied the
option WITH_LDAP_MODULES. However, when modules are selected through
OPTIONS dialog, AUTHNZ_LDAP means just AUTHNZ_LDAP and LDAP means just
LDAP.
Theoretically, this is not an error in port's Makefile, rather
something that gives even more flexibility to the user. However, the
same can't be said for user-friendliness. And to comment on your
message, I see no other LDAP-related options in Apache which would
make this a fixed dependency.
