	Let me see if I understand:
	You're running apache22, with DocumentRoot and/or ServerRoot in
a non-standard location.  Because of this, a third-party application
is malfunctioning.
	You are looking for a single way for that and other
applications to tell at run-time where the new location is.
	No such critter, as far as I know.  For those applications that
accept environment variables of command-lind switches, it should be
trivial to write a wrapper script to parse httpd,conf and provide
the correct information.
	For a compile-time switch, portupgrade users can use
pkgtools.cfg; others will have to look elsewhere.
