We create one Apache13-mod port that is compiled with all required patches (mod_ssl EAPI patch, mod_frontpage misclaneous patches, other module patches) it needs to be compatible with the module ports. Then we create the following module ports with a dependency on the Apache13-mod port. mod_frontpage mod_ssl mod_PHP3 mod_perl mod_etc.... This helps the Web Administrator out, because he will not have to compile a Apache13-* port that has all of the modules compiled into it. Instead he can add/remove modules as his requirements for a web server changes without the need to recompile the entire web server.
