That will do! Note however that the ProxyPass directive may conflict  
with use of Apache rewrite rules, which commonly are used in Apache  
configuration. I recommend using the following in place of the  
ProxyPass for the equivalent functionality while maintaining  
compatibility with other/future rewrite rules:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^/(.*)$ http://<domain>:8000/$1 [P]

This also gives you the ability to do other filtering/rewriting of  
the URL within Apache without involving CL-HTTP, which might be  
useful in cases where you want to serve only parts of a website using  
CL-HTTP.

I also enable the preservation of the HTTP Host header (for Apache 2  
in OSX 10.5) by adding the following:

ProxyPreserveHost On

You still need to uncomment the LoadModule and AddModule directives  
to activate mod_proxy when using Apache 1.x ( OSX 10.3 and 10.4).
