right. there's no uninstall procedure for software in the base
system.

i don't use apache-2.0, so lemme check the makefiles... ok.
i *think* i got the code right. it goes like this:
unless you make the apache2 port with -DWITHOUT_SSL, it sets
USE_OPENSSL=yes. it then (unconditionally) includes
/usr/ports/Mk/bsd.port.pre.mk, which says: is USE_OPENSSL set?
if it is, and the system is anything newer than a very early
4.0-STABLE, set OPENSSLBASE=/usr, and OPENSSLDIR=/etc/ssl (the
OpenSSL port is only considered if your ${OSVERSION}
(sysctl -n kern.osreldate) is less than 400014).
bummer it would seem.
if you don't feel like tinkering with /usr/ports/Mk/*, you should
update your /usr/ports (there was a relevant fix to the OpenSSL port
during the last few days), and build /usr/ports/security/openssl
with -DOPENSSL_OVERWRITE_BASE.

that would be fairly obvious would you read the relevant Makefiles :)

as i said, there's no method for uninstalling base software, but
this is not an issue provided there are no problems in the port
infrastructure like the one i described above.
now, the bind9 thing. i use a different name server software, but
(again :) reading the ports' Makefiles it's quite obvious the
maintainer of both versions knows quite well what he's doing. that's
most probably the reason the bind9 port doesn't include a knob for
overwriting the base bind similar to the one found in
/usr/ports/net/bind8/Makefile.
then again, i don't see how this is a problem: just start the bind
in /usr/local instead of the one in /usr.
`grep named /etc/defaults/rc.conf` will certainly help.
