I don't think uninstalling the default Apache is recommended or needed.
The Apache 2 port should work just fine with the base Apache left alone.

Upgrading to 4.3 or a snapshot will get rid of any X dependency problems
you may run into as 'needed' cruft like expat is now shipped in base.

The Apache 2 port builds the unaltered version from apache.org. I don't
believe Apache 2 runs in a chroot by default, so that would be up to you
to configure manually.
