I may have found the root of the problem: examine the following output of an
eix query on apache, and note that the cgi stuff seems to be turned off in
the installed version.

Description: The Apache Web Server.
The installed version seems to have CGI turned off completely (notice "-" in
installed version). I cannot find any reason either in
/etc/portage/package.use nor in /usr/portage/profiles or its subdirectories.
Is there someplace else to look?
