The omniti-ms repository is the only IPS repository I have found with 
apache in it.  SFE on SourceForge does not appear to have any spec 
files for apache.  I assume that this is because SFE has primarily 
targeted Oracle Solaris and OpenIndiana, which already come with 
apache.

Compile settings and needed dependencies for apache could be a matter 
of some debate.  My own needs are rather small and I am not at all 
happy with the with the number of packages that pkgsrc wants to pull 
in for apache (many are redundant with what OmniOS already includes), 
and the disk space which will be consumed.

This particular install is into a zone and the only Web-serving 
requirement for this zone is to offer Git and Mercurial web 
interfaces, which are based on Perl and Python CGI scripts.  Installs 
to other zones on the same system may have more significant 
requirements but not really more than what is already offered by 
apache given existing OmniOS packages.

OmniOS has a "Keep Your Stuff To Yourself" policy, but my own policy 
is to try to avoid the infection of too much "stuff".

This is the pkgsrc package dependency chain I see for various web 
server offerings.  Many of these are redundant with OmniOS packages 
and many represent functionality I will never need:
