the "could not bind to port 80" means you try to use port 80 twice. 
Search elsewhere in your httpd.conf, and you should find another 
<Directory></Directory>. In mdk, it's in commonhttpd.conf, file that is 
included by the "true" httpd.conf.

Your directory /usr/local/koha/opac/cgi-bin/ should point to some .pl 
files, including opac-main.pl
If it's not the case, then it's the problem !
