It's always a good idea to make any custom changes in your own config 
files. I generally do not modify the Gentoo provided httpd.conf at all 
and then load in my own configs to make changes afterwards. Makes 
merging changes from Gentoo easier.

I usually put mine in /etc/apache2/vhosts.d/

000_httpd_tweaks.conf
00_default_vhost.conf
www.badapple.net.conf
and so on.

At first it seems like Gentoo is forcing you to jump through hoops and 
making your life complex. In some ways it is. However I've found that 
creating specific config files keeps you from losing settings when you 
migrate to new servers or update your server in just about any distro of 
Linux. It's a good habit to get into.
