I think apache uses the following:
/etc/conf.d/apache
/etc/apache/*

And is apache compiled with the same USE-flags on both machines?

There is a different directory where the actual websites are configured:
/etc/apache/vhosts

I am missing this in your email.

What does apache report in the logs?
/var/log/apache/*
