More clues. MythWeb required the emerging of php with certain flags
enabled. However I note that php has an apache2 flag which was not
required to be enabled:

Sector9 modules.d # emerge -pv mythweb

These are the packages that would be merged, in order:

Calculating dependencies... done!
[ebuild   R   ] www-apps/mythweb-0.21_p17573  USE="-vhosts" 0 kB

Total: 1 package (1 reinstall), Size of downloads: 0 kB
Sector9 modules.d # emerge -pv php

These are the packages that would be merged, in order:

Sector9 modules.d #

While continuing to search for the real answer I'll rebuild php with
apache2 turned on to see what happens.

Thanks,
