No, but let's talk about it.
It always seemed to me that if you're building your own Apache, you're probably building Apache 2, since Apple already provides a perfectly serviceable Apache 1.
Macports version is usually updated faster, and you might want it linked against more-often updated macports libraries (like openssl).
On the other hand, MacPorts philosophy has always been to install its own software, even when Apple already provides the same software, for good reasons which are explained elsewhere.

3. Provide both options. Add a variant apple-apache[1] to use Apple's Apache and let the apache variant build MacPorts's apache port.
This is probably the best option (and similar to what I did for subversion). -- Daniel J.
