FreeBSD ports will put all webserver content into a data directory
under /usr/local/www/ --- often data.default --- but that takes no
account of having multiple virtual hosts.

I don't think there's sufficient people running large scale webservers
with many virtual hosts that any sort of standard location has
evolved.

Your layout is eminently sensible --- assuming /www is on it's own
partition and not part of the root.  It happens to be exactly the same
system as used at the last place I worked, so you're probably on the
right wavelength somewhere.
