I'd like to password protect the "motion" webcam stream at
my.external.ip.address:port.  Do I need to run apache2 in order to do
that?  It seems like overkill but I don't think motion has password
protection built-in.

It's been a while since I've used motion, so not sure what the options are.

You could also try a VPN-type link or SSH portforwarding, both can be set up 
to require a password.
