arfrever: those implicit test instructions are crazy.
If you KNOW that apache is already available, just write a slightly larger Apache config and run your OWN instance of it on a unique high-number port for the duration of the test.

I think that dev-util/subversion with USE="test webdav-(neon|serf)" could depend on www-servers/apache.

Which port number do you suggest?

arfrever: just pick something 50k-60k, odds of it being used are very low.
Also, specifically bind to localhost:$PORT, not 0.0.0.0:$PORT

OK. I have chosen port 62208.
