1) download this patch:
http://svn.apache.org/viewcvs.cgi/httpd/httpd/branches/2.0.x/modules/proxy/proxy_http.c?p2=%2Fhttpd%2Fhttpd%2Fbranches%2F2.0.x%2Fmodules%2Fproxy%2Fproxy_http.c&p1=httpd%2Fhttpd%2Fbranches%2F2.0.x%2Fmodules%2Fproxy%2Fproxy_http.c&r1=372046&r2=372045&rev=372046&view=diff&makepatch=1&diff_format=u
to /usr/portage/net-www/apache/files/plone.patch
2) add this lines to the src_unpack in apache-2.0.55-r1.ebuild right
after "epatch ${GENTOO_PATCHDIR}...":

epatch ${FILESDIR}/plone.patch

3) execute: ebuild /usr/portage/net-www/apache/apache-2.0.55-r1.ebuild digest
4) remerge apache-2.0.55-r1

(I'm ssuming that you're using an ~arch apache and that your portage
tree is in /usr/portage; alternativerly you might copy the ebuild to an
overlay and add the patch there)
