Apache doesn't know which user's home directory you'd like it to use. Apache
starts as root, then switches to the _www user; it has no idea what user you're
currently logged in and using the computer as. I'm not sure of a way that it
could automatically determine that either, and I also don't know of a way to
use variables in the path of an Apache Include statement.
You may have to settle for this:
Include "/Users/*/Dropbox/Application Support/apache/conf.d.osx/*.conf"
Include "/Users/*/Library/Application Support/MacPorts/apache/conf.d/*.conf"
This would include conf files in *every* user's home directory in that
location. But if you're the only person using these computers (the only user
account on these computers, or the only user which has conf files in that
location) then it shouldn't be a problem.
