Thats from Ubuntu Hoary.  So thats an or dependency.  It means any of 
them can satisfy the needs of the package.  It will prefer apache, but 
if you have apache2, or any package that provides httpd, then phpmyadmin 
will work fine.  To get phpmyadmin to use apache2 and not install 
apache, you must install apache2 before or at the same time you install 
phpmyadmin.
