You should be able to do a full "make" without deinstalling the old 
Apache.  If make words, then it should only take a minute to do a "make 
deinstall reinstall."  Of course, this doesn't account for time tweaking 
the conf files and debugging.  This is why you really need a development 
machine that is essentially a mirror of the critical app server so you 
can do test runs and such.  Or a 2nd (or 3rd) app server for redundancy 
if this server is so important.  In any case, you *will* at some point 
have to down your web server to do the upgrade.  That is unavoidable.
