Looks good. Is there a reason to not put all the binaries under bin or sbin?
I think if apache is configured to use ports above 2000 a normal user could start and stop httpd with apachectl. A normal user could use apxs to build something outside macports.
Maybe prefix/bin would be good for all executables?

And because we have are not installing all of apache2 into it's own prefix I don't think we need the additional etc/apache2/conf subdir for Config Files.

Because you use ${prefix} in your example we might use ${name} as well:

ServerRoot              ::      ${prefix}/www/
DocumentRoot            ::      ${prefix}/www/htdocs
Apache Config File      ::      ${prefix}/etc/${name}/httpd.conf
Include Files           ::      ${prefix}/include/${name}
Other Config Files      ::      ${prefix}/etc/${name}/extra/
Module Locations        ::      ${prefix}/lib/${name}/modules
ErrorLog                ::      ${prefix}/var/logs/${name}/error_log
AccessLog               ::      ${prefix}/var/logs/${name}/access_log
cgi-bin                 ::      ${prefix}/www/cgi-bin
binary                  ::      ${prefix}/bin/httpd
start/stop              ::      ${prefix}/bin/apachectl
apxs                    ::      ${prefix}/bin/apxs
