Apache (if that's the httpd you use) runs standalone by default (ie
not from inetd). And the same can be said for samba. Just install
both from the ports, and make sure the startup files in
/usr/local/etc/rc.d/ for these daemons are correct. You can then
start them by either restarting, or
# /usr/local/etc/rc.d/apache.sh start
# /usr/local/etc/rc.d/samba.sh start
IIRC it's necessary that you give the full path.
I don't have an URL.
HTH.
