I submitted the same question about a year ago.  All the apache ports on
FreeBSD should use the FreeBSD.layout:FreeBSD.  Currently it is
confusing and difficult to upgrade/switch between apache ports.  I
strongly believe they should install the same by default.

It is probably also worth while to add the following to the makefiles:

.if defined(USE_GNU_LAYOUT)
LAYOUT?=	GNU
.endif
LAYOUT?=	${FILESDIR}/FreeBSD.layout:FreeBSD

and then modify CONFIGURE_ARGS to include
		--with-layout=${LAYOUT} \

So people can chose the other format if they want.
