The only other thing I can think of would be to delete and re-type the "-D" line in /etc/conf.d/apache2 and the <IfDefine> line in the apache config. Maybe there's a non-printing space or something else evil in there. The unstable apache-2.4 lets you "Define" variables within the config files and not just on the command-line. If this is important, that might get you up and running at the expense of satisfying your curiosity. Some day we might replace all the -D stuff with "Define" anyway (https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=532710).
