I am running same as you. So maybe my poor insight can
help. Just maybe...

See if it is really running from the console like this...

<snip>
baal: {2} ps -xa | grep httpd
192 ??  Ss   0:03.39 /usr/pkg/sbin/httpd -k start -DSSL
234 ??  S    0:00.02 /usr/pkg/sbin/httpd -k start -DSSL
235 ??  S    0:00.02 /usr/pkg/sbin/httpd -k start -DSSL
236 ??  S    0:00.02 /usr/pkg/sbin/httpd -k start -DSSL
237 ??  S    0:00.02 /usr/pkg/sbin/httpd -k start -DSSL
238 ??  S    0:00.02 /usr/pkg/sbin/httpd -k start -DSSL
379 ??  S    0:00.01 /usr/pkg/sbin/httpd -k start -DSSL
baal: {3}
</snip>

Your answer will be different from mine because I am running
SSL along with regular. But you should get a PID that way.

Then also do this...

<snip>
baal: {5} more /etc/rc.conf
#       $NetBSD: rc.conf,v 1.96 2000/10/14 17:01:29 wiz Exp $
#
# see rc.conf(5) for more information.
#
# Use program=YES to enable program, NO to disable it. program_flags are
# passed to the program on the command line.
#

# Load the defaults in from /etc/defaults/rc.conf (if it's readable).
# These can be overridden below.
#
if [ -r /etc/defaults/rc.conf ]; then
         . /etc/defaults/rc.conf
fi

# If this is not set to YES, the system will drop into single-user mode.
#
rc_configured=YES

# Add local overrides below
#
wscons=YES
hostname="baal.amalekite.net"
apache=YES
apache_start="startssl"
sshd=YES
xdm=YES
routed=YES
ipfilter=YES
ipnat=YES
baal: {6}
</snip>

See where I have the two lines about Apache? The YES-line is for
regular and the other is for SSL. If that is there then Apache
should start on boot, which is how I always do.

There is probably more to it, but I'd have to hit the books. And
at least it is a start for you to look.

Read ya later,
