I would like to update the existing Apache software to version 2.2.22 (currently running version 2.2.21). I would like to use Macports but I am open to suggestions. Whenever I try to install it, MacPorts defaults to the /opt/local directory so it installs a second instance of Apache without updating the currently installed version.

As far as I know, you can't do this with MacPorts, because it's specifically designed to use /opt/local.– user3463May 16, 2012 at 7:44

@Randolph West OK, but is there a way to shut down the old version and run off the new version that is installed in the /opt/local directory?– Roger GarberMay 17, 2012 at 13:11

From your comment asking whether you could disable the existing installation, I don't see why this shouldn't work:
System Preferences
> Sharing
> Services
> uncheck Personal Web Sharing
.
Then you could manage Apache from the MacPorts version. It wouldn't be through the UI though, but as long as you start the service, it should work just fine.
