Or even ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~x86"

not sure if the capitalisation makes a difference but as far as I can tell it does. Just something to try.

If you are typing
Code:
emerge apache

then you are likely to get apache 1.3. Try using the full path to the ebuild script:
Code:
emerge /usr/portage/net-www/apache/apache-2.0.45.ebuild

To get apache 2.0.45 you can do one of two things. You can either use the testing tree once only which will get you the very latest apache.
Code:
ACCEPT_KEYWORDS=~x86 emerge apache

Or you can specify a version yourself which does not require the full absolute path to the ebuild.
Code:
ACCEPT_KEYWORDS=~x86 emerge =apache-2.0.45

There is no need to put ACCEPT_KEYWORDS=~x86 in /etc/make.conf unless you wish to migrate your entire system to the testing tree permanently and upgrade all packages to testing versions.

Are there any serious reasons to consider Apache 2 as unstable on Gentoo? Is something wrong with Apache 2 itself or its ebuild?

I belive that apache 1.3 is more secure. Since apache 2 is quite new and when I installed it I just got alot of problems. But i guess that's just a bad childhood memory.

I believe you are right there, I've read up on a few security breaches in apache that have required attention though they are fixed fairly fast I must say, once found. I had no problems installing apache2 on windows but had a few problems installing it on gentoo, I reverted back to 1.3 also after a couple of failed tries. Hopefully soon it will be out of experimental.

First what I Like in Apache 2 - it's faster on both single requests and multi-user bulk load. I did some tests in my LAN with the content that worked on both apache 2 and apache. Apache 2 was about 25% faster and with growing connections it degraded not so fast.

Among features I need first of all filtering in modules as well as SSL and WebDAV.
