That does sound like the CGI adaptor is not found and mod_webobjects  
is not getting loaded.

Correct, it is created on demand when requests arrive.  If it is not  
getting created, then the woadaptor is not getting the message from  
Apache.

I agree.  Check the contents of  /System/Library/WebObjects/Adaptors/ 
Apache/apache.conf to ensure that it matches your system.  I can't  
think of what might be wrong, but that is the first place I would  
look.  Then try commenting out that Include and trying the CGI  
adaptor to see if that will work.
