Finding /opt/local/apache2/bin/apachectl was "obvious." But not from any pllist 
file.

Looking at that file and comparing it with Apple's they are significantly 
different. 
I.e. /opt/local/apache2/bin/apachectl  contains no reference to a plist file, 
OR the use of launchctl. It looks like a non-Apple oriented, plain Unix start 
file.
