On RHEL6, the following packages are installed when you do

yum groupinstall "Web Server"

I don't use webalizer, httpd-manual, mod_wsgi or mod_perl for standard installs (mostly Drupal), so the following is a more minimal version of the above:

yum install mod_ssl httpd

That results in far fewer packages:
