Actually you'll find a lot of applications in FreeBSD ports where

1) the latest Debian release is Etch, not Sarge
I know that the latest release is Etch. I never said that Sarge is the
latest release.
However, Sarge was around for a long period of time and my statement
was:
No apache 2.2 there.
2) this is a matter of policy, not incompetence; packages associated
with a particular release receive only bug fixes, not feature
upgrades.
I know. I disagree with that policy, though.

I have always hated that with any distribution of Linux - it seems you
can get a stable (1.4.x release for example) of something, but once
many bugs are fixed upstream - perhaps in a 1.6.x release... you'll
never see those changes unless you cast package management aside and
build it yourself, or wait until the next distro release.
