Don't think so.  Here's a snippet of the above command:
...
www      httpd      941   4  tcp4   *:*                   *:*
www      httpd      941   5  tcp4   *:*                   *:*
www      httpd      941   16 tcp4   209.235.192.67:443    *:*
www      httpd      941   17 tcp4   209.235.192.67:80     *:*
...

Every apache process has those four listening entries.

Thanks for the feedback.
