TC can respond to requests on 80 if configured in server.xml to do so. It has it's own java based web server that by all accounts I've seen on the list is very close to as fast as Apache, just not as configurable. Unfortunately, if you are in a *nix environment, TC has to run as root to serve requests on 80 and that's a nasty security problem.
