Also check your firewall rules and make sure that they aren't blocking
inncomming connections to port 80.
If you are using ipfw you will need something like this in /etc/rc.firewall for
the firewall section you are using:
(snip from the client section of my rc.firewall)

# Allow and log connection setup
${fwcmd} add pass log tcp from any to a.b.c.d 80 setup
# Continue to allow already established connections
${fwcmd} add pass tcp from any to any established
...
