forbidding use of .htaccess), it seems like the only way to override 
any of these options is to modify httpd.conf directly. If nothing 
else, at least setting "AllowOverride" to something besides None.


I don't think there is anything to prevent .htaccess in the default config.

That said, I couldn't find a satisfactory way to avoid editing httpd.conf.


Is that correct? Or does anyone know of a way to leave httpd.conf 
pristine, yet still override or set directives for /var/www/html?

Just don't use "example.com". Instead stick to subdomains such as
"www.example.com", while putting in a rewrite rule that redirects from
example.com.
