Usually the startup line looks like this:
/usr/local/etc/apache/src/httpd -f /usr/local/etc/apache/conf/httpd.conf

Where it's
[path to the daemon] -f [path to the config file]

It's a good idea to make a shell script with that line in it, and stick it
in your /usr/local/etc/rc.d/  directory, so it launches at startup.

If you look through those files, *every* option is commented, and those
comments tell exactly what the command does.  If you are unsure about a
specific command, that's where the apache web pages
(http://www.apache.org>; come in - you're correct, they don't have much in
the way of sample config files, but they have an incredible amount of info
relating to specific commands.

Armed with that stuff, you should be able to get a apache server running
nicely.
