Off the top of my head:

Yes. /etc/httpd/conf includes several configuration files. httpd.conf
needs 

LoadModule php4_module modules/libphp4.so

You'll probably want to change DirectoryIndex to something like 

DirectoryIndex index.html index.htm index.shtml index.php index.php4
index.php3 index.cgi

And you'll need

AddType application/x-httpd-php .php4 .php3 .phtml .php

to tell Apache which extensions should trigger PHP.

There may be other things that need to be tweaked.

You didn't mention which distro you're using. In upgrading my RH system
to version 7, it includes Apache, PHP4, and MySQL all together.
Everything was automatically set up, it appears. (I've only run
phpinfo(); through it so far. Further testing will happen later this
week.) This is a nice change since settng up Apache+PHP+MySQL in the
past was a little bothersome.
