Upon issuing sudo port install apache2 + openldap I get :

error: #error mod_authnz_ldap requires APR-util to have LDAP support built in. To fix add --with-ldap to ./configure

Reading this I recognized that I DID NOT build the APR-util with the +openldap option. I then did an uninstall of apache2 as well as php5 to correct this error. I'm now trying again to get Apache2 to build with openldap.

Can someone point me to the documentation in the MacPorts Wiki or whatever that would have prevented me from "the long route?"

If you did not yet have apr-util installed, and installed apache2 +openldap, then apr-util would also get installed with +openldap, and things should have just worked. However, if you already had apr-util installed, it would not be reinstalled, even if it did not have the "right" set of variants. Portfiles can only depend on another port being installed, not on a particular variant of another port being installed. This is ticket #126. Once you received the error from apache2 that explained that apr-util needed to be built with ldap support, the solution was to uninstall the apr-util you already had (sudo port -f uninstall apr-util) and reinstall it with the openldap variant (sudo port install apr-util +openldap). Then apache2 should install properly.
