Backing up is the best thing.  But the httpd.conf doesn't get replaced
because the original was httpd.conf.sample.  That's why it is bad for
ports to install config files as what their fianl name will be.  But not
all Apache config fiels do this; anything in extra/ will get replaced. 
This could be fixed to work the same way but no one has yet.
