Ah!   I now see it does everything for me automagically if everything is 
sitting in the right place.  I had deleted the Apache source after manually
untarring it.  Anyway I got it everything built and running.

In case anyone else is trying it out, I also had to do the following:

Manually run the postinstall
$ /etc/postinstall/httpd.sh

Edit the /etc/apache2/httpd.conf
At the very minimum you need to change ServerRoot
ServerRoot "/var/www"

Add a user - nobody is the default in the conf file - I used www
$ net user nobody /add /fullname:"Cygwin Apache2" 
/homedir:"c:\cygwin\var\empty" /active:no
$ mkpasswd -l -u nobody >> /etc/passwd

Change the permissions on this directory as the script creates it under my 
id
$ chmod o+w apache2

Add the environment option "CYGWIN=server" to the service install.
$ cygrunsrv -I apache2 -p /usr/sbin/httpd -a "-DNO_DETACH" -d "CYGWIN 
Apache2" -o -y cygserver -e "CYGWIN=server"

Thanks for your help.
