 apache2 but my first attempt to duplicate the working vsftpd plist in
 LaunchDaemons/ into a "Save As" into an apache2 plist. I rm'd that attempt
 to research if there is an existing plist for my apache2 port.

 Sounds like you or something has removed and/or modified files the port
 intended to provide. Deactivating and reactivating the port should set
 things right again.

 > Will deactivating, reactivating the port save my work in the httpd
 config files? Thx.

 Configuration files will not be overwritten. You can confirm this by
 verifying that `port contents apache2` does not mention your .conf files.
 (It only mentions .conf.orig files.)

 It should be similar for most ports, however it is a manual process to
 identify config files and to set it up to do this. If you find a port that
 is not set up to preserve your conf files, please file a bug report.
