I think that'll work fine, yes.  Apache 2 splits its config into separate 
files, in /etc/apache2/modules-{enabled,available} 
and /etc/apache2/sites-{enabled,available}.  That aspect might take a bit of 
getting used to, but overall, I think it's a much better approach.

Otherwise, Apache 2 was painless for me :)
