Make sure you have rpmdevtools installed, and you have run 
/usr/bin/rpmdev-setuptree before.

as YOU:

$ yumdownloader --source httpd

When you have the rpm downloaded:

$ rpm -ihv http...src.rpm

$ cd rpmbuild/SPECS

$ vi httpd.spec

In there you will see what arguments were given to the configure script.

You will notice that WebDav is built in.

On my F8 system:

$ rpm -qf /usr/lib/httpd/modules/mod_dav.so
httpd-2.2.9-1.fc8

On my F10 system:

$  rpm -qf /usr/lib64/httpd/modules/mod_dav.so
httpd-2.2.10-2.x86_64

Good luck!
