The problem is that you should never set USE_* except inside a port
Makefile.  Setting that in /etc/make.conf gives every port a dependency on
a version of apache (which requires perl, hence the problem building
perl).

The 'user settable' options are usually WITH_* or WITHOUT_*.

I'm not 100% sure (and can't check right now), but there might be an
option that you can (reasonably) safely set globally in /etc/make.conf to
prefer apache 2.2, but I don't know what it is.
