Serve the web page using a minimal http server instead?

If there is no DirPort, there is no way for Tor to serve anything
over HTTP.

If there is a DirPort (or DirCache), you will have Tor clients
contacting you for directory documents, which (based on your tor-bsd
mails) you don't want on a tor relay with constrained RAM.
