Or debian:

apt-get builddep apache   # Get any required dependacies
apt-get source apache     # Download and unpack source
# Make changes, whatever
debuild binary            # Build the packages

If you don't make any changes yourself:
apt-get source -b apache
will download, unpack, compile and make packages all in one step.
