There is no reason to delete the included Apache install, per se. There
is no facility to do it easily, either.
Quite a few people run Apache 2 on OpenBSD, so it does work, but I'm not
sure just how well it works. Certainly, Apache 2 uses threads quite a
bit and threads are not that fast on OpenBSD (though that is fast
improving).
Anyway, stick with the included Apache if possible, or just compile and
install the new Apache 2 somewhere you like. As long as it isn't under
/usr (but, for instance, under /usr/local or /opt), no conflict will
arise. Though you do have to make sure that you are calling the proper
apachectl when starting.
