Look in the package's "Makefile". All the arguments to "configure" are
presented as "CONFIGURE_ARGS+= --foo". For simple changes, you can set
CONFIGURE_ARGS in the environment before building, and pkgsrc will add
to one's you've set. Inspection reveals that many of the particular
arguments for "apache", such as the server UID and the location of
the perl binary, are also supplied as make variables, so they're
overridable with the user knobs documented in
".../pkgsrc/mk/bsd.pkg.defaults.mk". For everything you want to do,
though, it looks like you'll have to edit the "Makefile" directly.
