That depends how you configure your new apache installation, I am sure
you could set the document root to the existing directory (if the
permissions are correct).

You should install php5 +apache2 for your apache2 from MacPorts. See
also <http://trac.macports.org/wiki/howto/MAMP>.

No.

To enable apache2 as a permanent daemon, use:
  sudo launchctl load -w /Library/LaunchDaemons/org.macports.apache2.plist
To disable you use a similar command, just replace load with unload.
