The data is not in HTTP format, so it doesn't use methods like GET or PUT, but only the data. Can I use Apache to put it to listen on that port and create a program that get the data and store it into a database?Yes, but only by writing a custom protocol module, which is not a simple thing to do. You would be much better off using a simple scripting language like python or perl to listen on the port and slurp the data.
If you decide to use httpd, however, I strongly suggest you look at mod_echo as a trivial protocol module example.
