Erin:
Apache itself will start just fine with only lo interface up as long as httpd.conf does not tell it to bind on a non-lo interface. However, a wrapper script you are using to start it could insist on eth0 initialization.
A simple fix:
* make sure httpd.conf does not have references to any IP addresses other than 127.0.0.1
* start httpd with apachectl start, or if that fails, just /usr/sbin/httpd ( you may need to do locate httpd or locate apachectl to find the correct paths)
A more complex fix:
examine /etc/init.d/apache2 and comment out/otherwise disable checks for network initalization after making sure that your httpd.conf is ok
