Not like that. phpmyadmin's config.inc.php is the PHP file you use to configure how phpmyadmin works. It's not related to apache.

Yes you do need to somehow get phpmyadmin into your web space. One way would be to create a symlink in your document root. For example if your document root is /opt/local/apache2/htdocs you could do:

cd /opt/local/apache2/htdocs
ln -s /opt/local/www/phpmyadmin phpmyadmin

Or, you could configure an apache Alias directive in your httpd.conf. It's up to you.
