yes: copy the following script (stolen shamelessly from macports) to
$prefix/etc/init.d/ and save it as apache2ctl
Then simply change the path to this script in $prefix/usr/sbin/apache2ctl

Keep in mind that your conf.d/apache2 file will be worthless, so you
have to pass all your apache2 options in that script.
