The daemondo process wraps other processes on 10.4 to adapt to  
programs that aren't written for launchd. Its presence doesn't mean  
that the thing it wraps is running, so if you don't see the actual  
process, it isn't.

If I recall, httpd has an argument meaning "check the configuration  
files". If you try to run it with some completely bogus arguments,  
I'm sure it will give you a "usage" statement that will tell you what  
it is.

`port contents apache2` lists all of apache2's files. Probably,  
there's a "httpd.conf.sample" in /opt/local/apache2/conf or something  
like that that will need to be copied to "httpd.conf", but I don't  
have the port to check.
