There is officially no preferred order... each port will pull in what it needs. For example just selecting the apache module when installing php will automatically drag in a configured and working version of apache (at least if you want stuff on port 8080 [std port is 80 so you will need to edit the config file slightly {you may also want to move docroot to a more convient place also}])... Now there are some known (very rare) exceptions to the above for example if you install net-p2p/deluge and multimedia/miro you should install deluge first (while hand configuring boost to compile with boost-python [actually just some make flags] instead of plain boost) > > Also, I've noticed that some of the port versions on this site are > a little newer that in my 6.2 release.
