Is my env set up `correctly'?
Your path is fine. (You do have some odd items in there... is there
really a directory "/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/
Current/bin/bin"? Note the two "/bin"s at the end? Also you have /
sbin, /usr/bin and /usr/sbin in your PATH twice each.)
If you want MacPorts's apachectl to be in your PATH, you would need
to add /opt/local/apache2/bin to your PATH. However, you're not meant
to use apachectl directly. You're meant to use launchctl. See the
message that was shown to you when you installed apache2:

In MacPorts 1.6.0, this has been simplified to "sudo port load
apache2" (and "sudo port unload apache2" to unload it).

It works! Thanks. However still we've got the following:

this doesn't show that your env is set up 'correctly'
$ which bash

I believe the apache2 port installs the apachectl binary that you
want in /opt/local/apache2/bin/ so if you want 'apachectl' by
itself to run the macports installed one, you need to put that
directory in your path before /usr/sbin
... but again, this isn't a macports problem.
