Yes, you put a webserver like Apache on port 80, then configure Apache to send JSP and servlet requests to Tomcat.
Running things as root on port 80 is a bad idea, especially if you are new to systems administration. If you are just doing development, etc. on a private machine, it is not that big of a deal. Keep in mind, though, that if you build your application to assume that everything happens on port 80 and that Tomcat runs as root, you will most likely have some fairly big obstacles to overcome when you try to deploy your app, especially if you don't control the targeted production server.
