someone please correct me but:
I believe that make install will only overwrite httpd (the executable
binary). Any other files that already exist will not be touched. Last time
I did something like this, I simply made a copy of my httpd binary and
everything else was in my system backups.

you can try the tar_Apache and offsite_tar arguments to make and see if they
wrap up everything you need...
