Hi Michael 
 
The trick here is that all the scripts, and html templates, point to  
/cgi-bin/koha/. So if you set it up under /opac/ all the links will break.  
So unfortunately there is no easy way to do it.  
  
There are ways to do it though, the way id do it is with mod_proxy
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/1.3/mod/mod_proxy.html or
http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/mod/mod_proxy.html

And leave the rest

That will mean a person can go to http://nsw.royalsoc.org.au/opac/opac-main.pl
And it will be fetching it from nsw.royalsoc.org.au:8000 and sending it to
the user over port 80. 

Hope this helps

Chris
