Furthermore, OSX's native Apache httpd binary links against /usr/lib/libpcre libraries.  Is pcre supposed to be part of Darwin but isn't?

This is already known internally (at Apple), we will hopefully have a pcre root or release available soon.  A lot of projects will have problems without pcre since grep uses it (and autoconf uses grep). Some of this can be fixed by building your own grep (or your own pcre), but we'll have this "officially" fixed eventually.
