OK, I'll answer my own question, having found the solution five
minutes after I sent that post out :-). Good thing I continued to
search through the documentation :-).
There are <Connector> tags in server.xml that control how/what things
"connect" to tomcat. The provided server.xml file contains connectors
for standalone operation and interfacing with Apache (and a
commented-out one for standalone SSL operation). Removing (or
commenting-out) the one for standalone operation will disable
standalone operation.
