The newer ports are using an rc subroutine (referenced in the script as
rc.subr), which allows for easier enabling/disabling of services via
/etc/rc.conf

You really should have an /etc/rc.conf -- have you tried:
cat /etc/rc.conf
At a command line? All you have to do is add:
apache_enable=YES
to the end of the file (/etc/rc.conf) and you can then do:
/usr/local/etc/rc.d/apache.sh start
And that will work. Hope this helps!
Best,
Glenn
