You can do whatever you like with the contents of /etc/apache2, but MacPorts won't attempt to use anything from that directory. If there are files in there that are required for your web server setup, copy them to the right place within /opt/local/apache2.

I have found it most useful to include the following line

 Include /private/etc/apache2/users/*.conf

somewhere in the Apache configurations files. I put it in

 /opt/local/apache2/conf/extras/httpd-userdir.conf

Copying these files to the /opt directories is a maintenance nightmare and not really required.
