The webdav servlets are exactly the same, give or take a few formatting differences.
There are difference between 4.1.x and 5.x in how requests for http://host/webapp/ are handled. Generally, you can use a context for webdav, or you can use it with a browser to server content. Trying to mix the two usually results in a headache of some form. That said, if you only want to serve static content, whilst retaining the ability to edit it via webdav there are people out there that do this. The exact configuration tends to depend on the TC, browser and webdav client combination you choose. Search the archives for tips.
