Apache 2.4 in MacPorts is still unfinished, which is why the port name is 
"apache24-devel" -- the "-devel" suffix means it is a development version, beta 
version, or otherwise untested or potentially unstable.

There are no PHP ports that will use MacPorts apache24-devel. See 
https://trac.macports.org/ticket/41478

At this time, I recommend sticking with the apache2 port. The 
php55-apache2handler port works with it.

The pages linked from https://trac.macports.org/wiki/howto/MAMP should describe 
how to set this up correctly. There is nothing to do or configure to get 
MacPorts apache2 to know where its httpd.conf file is; it knows how to find it 
from the moment it's installed. I can only think that perhaps you have not 
stopped your Apple Apache server, and that therefore the MacPorts Apache server 
isn't running at all. The Apache2 page linked form the MAMP page shows how to 
deal with that too.
