You can just modify ports.conf and set the listening sockets as
necessary?

Moving ports.conf to conf.d seems not to be conceptually sensible, since
one will always need listen addresses.

Also not really clean, since a single listening address might be used by
multiple VHs... so it doesn't really belong there.


I'd rather vote for httpd not being started automatically after
installation... which gives the admin time to configure it appropriately
and not having it unconditionally / insecurely(?) listening.


Cheers,
