Without a port number the request will go to port 80 (which is the default port for HTTP). So
http://localhost/
is the same as
http://localhost:80/

HTTP is a protocol (
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypertext_Transfer_Protocol
), while httpd is the name of the most widely used web server (its full name being Apache httpd:
http://httpd.apache.org/
).
Maybe you're thinking of HTTPS (which is an encrypted version of HTTP), not httpd?
