I did the same. I made a copy of the /var/www stuff and put it in /var/www2.
I then created a second apatchectl (named apachemailmanctl with the appropriate
changes), setup startup and flags in rc.local and rc.conf.local, configured the
"new" apache with appropriate values and running on 8080 and 8443 (I'm already
running apache on 80 and 443 for other stuff). The biggest thing that kept
biting me were permissions. Mailman will complain if you aren't running just
the right thing with just the right permissions. I spent a couple days getting
it worked out. It didn't help that I was also migrating an older Mailman
installation's archives and to the new system as well.
