Me too. But without this, mod_perl asks for it, and with it, it doesn't.
Search in /usr/ports/www/mod_perl/work/mod_perl*/Makefile.PL (after a
make patch) for it.

It isn't because of that. It's because apache should not be needed to run
as root as recommented in the apache documentation. But you are the maintainer,
you have to decide.
But, let me ask you a question. What it the port-makefile good for, if I do
have to maintain an own fix for full options? How many fixes exists out
there? Why do not accept the defaults and let the admin change anything if
required.
I personally changed to freebsd, because there was most things more relaxed.
Kind regards
Jens
