So where *is* your '${prefix}/etc/cups/cupsd.conf'? Is it there ? Is it
readable ?
What are its access-rights? Is it set to be 600 for the user and group ID
cupsd is expected to run as ? (See the cupsd.conf itself, look for the
keywords "User" and "Group". Here [Linux] it is "User lp" and "Group sys"
but on OSX it might be something else...

You mean the "cupsd.conf" file... I hope, they haven't re-named it to
just cups.conf -- because this would explain a lot why you're having trouble....

So where did the important file get installed to ?
Where is the "document root" now ?
Can you (as root) check the output of "cups-config"?
(Just do a "cups-config --help" and use
"cups-config --serverroot --api-version --datadir --serverbin --cflags --ldflags
--libs"
or, maybe "sudo cups-config --serverroot...."
