OK, it seems that the apache2 USE flag is required for php. Possibly
someone should change the ebuild to suggest using that flag since it
already prints a message telling you to add 4 other flags.
Once I emerged php again with the apache2 flag I then had to change
the mythweb path in the mythweb.conf file to
<Directory "/var/www/localhost/htdocs/mythweb" >
Now I'm at least getting a web page, but it's complaining about other
stuff. (But it's doing it in a web page so I consider this a small
victory!) ;-)

I'll go to the myth-users list as the first like appears to make this
specifically Myth based.
Cheers,
