So I was actually trying to emerge mod_jk which lead me to add "net-www/apache ~x86" to package.keywords. I ended up adding "net-www/gentoo-webroot-default ~x86, dev-libs/apr ~x86 and dev-libs/apr-util ~x86" each in turn as each one kept asking for the other. It was only after doing a successful emerge apache that I saw the URL pointing to the online documentation. I tried at first to get things going without adding package.keywords lines like "dev-php/mod_php ~x86" because I was afraid of pulling in php5 or something that I really didn't want. The process worked and wasn't as painful as it first looked. The only thing I might suggest you change is make it clearer that everything under /etc/apache2/conf is going to need to find a new home because that area is just not used anymore - so update your virtual hosts configuration to their new home and if you have php.ini in /etc/apache2/conf and not in /etc/apache2 then you've skipped adding this "dev-php/mod_php ~x86" to package.keywords.

Thank you. We are moving this to stable on Sept 18th.
