After installing apache2 (or rather, apache2 +no_startupitem) I got the message that stuff was done outside the MacPorts /opt/local directory.
Can I find out exactly what was done?

port contents apache2 should do it.

I thought so as well, but everything it lists is in /opt/local. So either
"port contents" doesn't list all files installed or the message was
incorrect. I was hoping for to find out which one it is.

Read the message again. It doesn't say stuff was done outside the MacPorts /opt/local directory. It said something more like the port has requested to violate the mtree layout. There is a certain standard directory tree layout to which well-behaved Unix software is supposed to conform (in which things get installed into specific directories under /opt/local, such as bin, lib, share, and so on). The apache2 port deliberately does not conform to this layout, instead installing most items into /opt/local/apache2.
