The same thing is true about various httpd too: they all must use the same /usr/local/www thing (at least at symlink level). So /usr/local/www/cgi-bin is CGI final place for all possible and future httpd ports. If you use your own httpd (not from port), it is your task to make it compatible with ports things. -- Andrey A.
