Is it possible (or inadvisable) to run apache using the /usr/sbin/apache binary directly? Is there any significant production issues that might arise?

Run the binary directly as opposed to what? If you mean via apachectl or a /etc/init.d script all they do is invoke the httpd binary directly the the appropriate arguments (e.g., converting "configtest" into "-k"). On UNIX systems there really isn't any difference as far as the kernel is concerned whether you're running a script or a binary. If you choose to invoke the httpd binary directly without the aid of a wrapper script it simply becomes your responsibility to pass all necessary and appropriate arguments; e.g., -f to specify where the config file can be found.
