If you customized the default httpd.conf from FC4 in no way, then you
can use the httpd.conf from FC5 the same way. No custom settings would
have to be transferred.

That can't be with the httpd.conf shipping with Apache2 2.2.0-5.12 from
FC5.

You would have looked closer. mod_access isn't an Apache2 2.2 module,
while it was in Apache2 2.0. Please read the page Paul mentioned:

http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/upgrading.html
   mod_access has been renamed to mod_authz_host
