For the record:

I finally found the clue I needed in /sw/share/apache2/config/httpd- 
manual.conf.  It turns out that everything is fine.  You just need to  
access the docs via the URL http://localhost/manual/, rather than  
attempting to open them directly with a browser.

Given that the apache folks don't publish this gem in an obvious  
place, and there is no link to the docs at http://localhost, it might  
be nice if a DescDetail for the -docs splitoff had something like "The  
docs may be accessed via the URL http://localhost/manual/, if the  
apache2 web server is running".

Thanks,
