The port will complain that Apache and Perl are not quite 
compatible (OpenBSD 2.8).  This is not something fixable by the 
package maintainer.  It is mod_perl that is complaining, not the 
port.

+----
|Your Perl is uselargefiles enabled, but Apache is not, suggestions:
|    *) Rebuild Apache with CFLAGS="-D_LARGEFILE_SOURCE -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64"
|    *) Rebuild Perl with Configure -Uuselargefiles
|    *) Let mod_perl build Apache (USE_DSO=1 instead of USE_APXS=1)
+----

Also, the Perl that comes with 2.8 needs to be patched before it 
will work properly with AxKit.  I've found this to be very much a 
pain.  If I start with a clean install of the src tree, I will 
get many errors during the build process if I follow the FAQ on 
building the src tree.  I've given up for now.  I don't have the 
time to mess with it.
