If you run through apache, you won`t need this at all, I think.

This should be ok. It just tells your webserver not to deliver any stuff
from your directory tree unless told otherwise. This should always be
on, because if not, people would be able to browse your local directory
tree and probably read data.

I have installed MoinMoin manually, putting cgi-scripts and stuff into
the main cgi-dir (on SuSE 9 /srv/www/cgi-bin) and some subdirs, I would
have to check, wether you should also add a <Directory />-section
similar to the one used for /srv/www/cgi-bin for the /usr/share/moin-stuff.
