There is officially no preferred order... each port will pull in what
it needs. For example just selecting the apache module when
installing php will automatically drag in a configured and working
version of apache (at least if you want stuff on port 8080 [std port
is 80 so you will need to edit the config file slightly {you may also
want to move docroot to a more convient place also}])...
Now there are some known (very rare) exceptions to the above for
example if you install net-p2p/deluge and multimedia/miro you should
install deluge first (while hand configuring boost to compile with
boost-python [actually just some make flags] instead of plain boost)

You shouldn't have an issue since almost all ports have existed (and
largely unmodified) since 6.2... that being said you should still
consider up grading to 7 if at all possible since it adds a lot of
stuff that makes general operation much smoother.
