  I presume you are using Apache from the package system?  In that case,
httpd is compiled with ServerRoot set to '/usr/pkg' (or wherever you
changed $LOCALBASE to).  Therefore, Apache will use
'/usr/pkg/etc/httpd/httpd.conf' as its default configuration file.  The
only way to change this is '-f' on the command line (and then probably
ServerRoot in the config file for relative paths to work correctly).

  However, '/usr/etc/' is not a good place for config files.  See
hier(7) for more information about filesystem hierarchy on NetBSD.
