I'm thinking "no"...since, unless something is very different, you ought to find it terminating as follows: # cd /usr/ports/www/apache22 ; make -j 3 ===> apache-2.2.17_1 depends on file: /usr/local/lib/libcrypto.so.7 - found ===> apache-2.2.17_1 depends on file: /usr/local/bin/perl5.12.3 - found ===> apache-2.2.17_1 depends on file: /usr/local/bin/autoconf-2.68 - found ===> apache-2.2.17_1 depends on package: libtool>=2.4 - found ===> apache-2.2.17_1 depends on shared library: expat.6 - found ===> apache-2.2.17_1 depends on shared library: apr-1 - found ===> apache-2.2.17_1 depends on shared library: pcre.0 - found ===> apache-2.2.17_1 depends on shared library: iconv.3 - found ===> apache-2.2.17_1 depends on shared library: mysqlclient.15 - found ===> apache-2.2.17_1 depends on shared library: db-4.4.0 - found ===> apache-2.2.17_1 depends on shared library: sqlite3.8 - found ===> Configuring for apache-2.2.17_1 ...whereas just typing make proceeds with: checking for chosen layout...
