I generally set the Apache DocumentRoot to outside of /usr/pkg for
this reason.  The "make install" from the apache sources' Makefile
just tars up the htdocs directory and dumps it to the installation
location, and it would be hard to deal properly with not overwriting
files within htdocs ("properly" meaning "works with binary packages").
