Yes.  Delete the version of Apache2 you installed yourself, and install 
it from ports, remembering to add 'apache2_enable="YES"' to 
/etc/rc.conf.  The ports version contains all of the required rc.d 
scripts to get itself started automatically on bootup.  The standard 
distribution doesn't.  That's why they call them ports, you know; 
because the software is /ported/ onto FreeBSD incorporating all 
necessary changes to make them work the FreeBSD way, and so you don't 
have to keep redoing all that stuff yourself.

	Cheers,

	Matthew
