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".
