httpd.conf might or might not work -- there are some incompatible changes.

For example:

   Options -all  (2.2)

should become:

   Options none (2.4)

If you use on-the-fly compression:  the syntax of FilterProvider is
different now.  That's just two examples I've heard about.  Probably the
best thing to do is grab yourself a jail or a VM somewhere, install
apache-2.4 and keep configtest'ing and fixing your conf until you have
something that works, and that you can put on your live system when you
upgrade.

	Cheers,
