1) Not recommended since 1.3 is part of the base distro. Just set
httpd_flags="NO" in /etc/rc.conf.local
 to prevent startup. Dependencies problem is most likely due to expat
which is in xbase, you may want to try 4.3 instead which is to be
released in a couple of days.
2) No, since packages install somewhere under /usr/local, while base
distro is in parent directories.
3) 'find /usr/local/share -type d | grep apache' or similar and look
around if you find some useful docs/configuration examples or even
startup scripts/snippets that you can use in /etc/rc.local.

Dorian
