Did that. Now dev-wordpress.com goes to the root (/opt/local/www) and not to
opt/local/www/wordpress as indicated in
/opt/local/apache2/conf/extra/vhosts/wordpress.conf:

# START example.com
<VirtualHost *:80>
       DocumentRoot "/opt/local/www/wordpress/"
       ServerAdmin user at example.com
       ServerName dev-wordpess.com
       ServerAlias www.dev-wordpress.com
       DirectoryIndex index.php

       # php setttings
      # php_admin_value open_basedir "/opt/local/www/clients/last.first/
example.com/:/private/var/tmp/:"
       #php_value engine off

       <Directory "/opt/local/www/wordpress/">
               Options FollowSymLinks
               AllowOverride All
               Order allow,deny
               allow from all
       </Directory>
</VirtualHost>
# END example.com

I wonder if:

# Pull in all my virtual hosts, which are filename format of
hostname.example.com.conf

in /opt/local/apache2/confextra/httpd-vhosts.conf is the correct path?

httpd.conf should be loading virtual hosts now using:

# Virtual hosts
Include conf/extra/httpd-vhosts.conf

right?

This all seems harder then I thought...
