The port would have tried to install Apache 2.0 over Apache 2.2 if the
port Makefile had USE_APACHE=20 in it. The port should be changed to
USE_APACHE=20+ unless the port is specific to Apache 2.0. Adding
port-specific variables to /etc/make.conf isn't wrong, but
/etc/make.conf is global. You should limit the scope of ports variables
by wrapping the variables with a .CURDIR evaluation. For example:
.if ${.CURDIR:M*/mail/postfix}
BATCH=yes
POSTFIX_OPTIONS=SASL2 SPF TLS MySQL
.endif
The above defines BATCH and POSTFIX_OPTIONS iff make was invoked in a
directory ending in /mail/postfix. See make(1) for more details.
