FreeBSD has a slightly different layout than Linux or Solaris. The configs 
and startup scripts belong in /usr/local/etc and /usr/local/etc/rc.d 
respectively. 

To invoke the startup script on boot up, simply place apache22_enable="YES" 
into the /etc/rc.conf file. The manual method using apachectl will still 
work at a command prompt.

This is very general and you will find most things you install will operate 
this way.
