@dbach,

The Apache 1.3+ that ocicat has mentioned to you now and before is, per FAQ 1.3, "[The Project's] improved and secured version of the Apache 1.3 web server. The OpenBSD team has added default chrooting, privilege revocation, and other security-related improvements. Also includes mod_ssl and DSO support."

If it meets your technical requirements, it is recommended over the www/apache-httpd port; that package installs with the following console message:
Code:
This is the official httpd distributed by the Apache Server Project,
provided as a port for those who, for various reasons, need to run
version 2. 

OpenBSD provides a custom Apache server, httpd(8), in the base system
which has been audited for security and may run in a chroot(2)
environment.  Users are STRONGLY encouraged to use the system httpd
rather than this port.
