   That's way too old, having been released in March 2004. The 1.8 is
   better in many, many ways. I can see here
   http://www.gentoo-portage.com/net-www/mod_security

   they have the 1.8.6 version (I don't know what "hard masked" means,
   though). Chances are your problems will go away when you upgrade. Or,
   if they don't go away - I'll fix them.

   That's why you'll get a conf. option to turn it off ;)

I checked bugzilla which led me to 
http://dev.gentoo.org/~vericgar/doc/apache-package-refresh.html. 
Apparently, there was a feature-freeze on Apache in portage until a new 
scheme could be developed which changed lots and lots of stuff.  I'll have 
to investigate upgrading. Thanks.
