Yes, but I don't use the built-in apache and its configs. Honestly, if you want readily available help, probably best to turn off the "personal web sharing" and install & configure your own web server, in the "standard" unix-y location. I expect that would be easier than starting with Apple's built-in Apache config, which is configured for VERY basic personal use and then try to figure out to tweak their config. Also, if you install your own, it's less likely that OS updates will fubar your config and force you to go exploring again trying to figure out what to fix. 

Actually, the default Mac OS X installation of apache is pretty standard (in a BSD sense).  The config files live in /etc/apache2/, and *.conf files in /etc/apache2/other/ are loaded by default.  My config files haven't been touched even when upgrading from 10.8 to 10.9.  It's a little more tricky if you need PHP too, but it's still not difficult to add modules to the built-in php.   

In fact, the reason I started using the built-in apache was because I got tired of MacPorts blowing away all my config files seemingly at random.
