Well, we have found a solution - sort of.

If you start the httpd FIRST, then start the INET daemon second, then it'll
work correctly. Do it in reverse order, and you can't bind to port 80 with
the httpd daemon. Any ideas why?

and YES, we only have ONE "Port 80" directive. :-)

netstat
lsof

Have you touched apache.conf? You do have just ONE "Port 80"
and ONE "Listen 80" directive, right? Have you been playing
with virtual hosts again?
