A brief look at www/apache2/Makefile.modules suggests that you just need to
specify "WITH_SUEXEC=yes" in the build environment. Makefile.modules gets
included from Makefile.

This should work:

# make WITH_SUEXEC=yes install

Or if you use portupgrade and friends,

# portinstall -M WITH_SUEXEC=yes www/apache2

You can then put it in /usr/local/etc/pkgtools.conf under MAKE_ARGS:

MAKE_ARGS = {
'www/apache2' => 'WITH_SUEXEC=yes',
}

This ensures you won't have to specify it each time you upgrade.

=====

To create the "suexec" binary, go into the ports directory:

cd /usr/ports/www/apache20/work/httpd-2.0.61
make suexec

then copy to appropriate place, i.e.
cp -rp ./support/suexec /usr/local/bin/suexec
