This is exactly what i was lookin for. Except I made a seperate /etc partition there doesnt seem to be an -etc folder- under the /usr/local/
However it looks like even though i tried to install all ports, they didnt make it over. I have downloaded the HTTPD2.2.8. directly from Apache.org and have tried extracting that into the /usr/ports/lang dir.
So here is my next newb Q: since sysinstall doesnt seem to want to install apache right, is the correct method:
chdir into /usr/ports/lang/httpd-2.2.8/;
./configure;
make;
make install clean
then this should install and configure the apache and httpd daemons for use, once i find the appropriate daemon starters under /etc/rc.d -to add-> to the rc.conf
