Portage does in fact install to /usr/share/webapps/mythweb, but then
it runs webapp-config which creates hard links to these files in
/var/www/localhost/htdocs/mythweb. You should be able to find/edit any
of mythweb's files there. In order to enable php for apache, see
/etc/conf.d/apache (or apache2, depending on what you have installed)
and add "-D PHP4" (again, this depends on your installation...could be
PHP5) to tell apache to start with php support. For some of the
functions in mythweb you may need to edit your php.ini 
(/etc/apache2/conf/php.ini), at least I seem to remember having to do
so.

If you ever need to find where portage stuffed a package's files in
the future, just emerge gentoolkit and use equery:

# equery f mythweb

See the man page for equery for more options, and the man page for
webapp-config if you care to see how it manages various web packages
such as mythweb.
