The fact that they show up in the httpd.conf file means that they are installed. I’m not sure what the set of modules enabled by default was with apache 2.2.x. Just uncomment those lines.

I would run diff. As noted in the Portfile notes, there are some differences between 2.2.x and 2.4.x in terms of the .conf files. Particularly, regarding access clauses.
