Ok think I got it..... The contents of /etc/smokeping/apache2.conf need 
to be installed in /etc/apache2/conf-available/serve-cgi-bin.conf

Restart apache2 and smokeping and I have graphs and the smokeping and 
RRDTool logos.

cat /etc/apache2/conf-available/serve-cgi-bin.conf
<IfModule mod_alias.c>
         <IfModule mod_cgi.c>
                 Define ENABLE_USR_LIB_CGI_BIN
         </IfModule>

         <IfModule mod_cgid.c>
                 Define ENABLE_USR_LIB_CGI_BIN
         </IfModule>

         <IfDefine ENABLE_USR_LIB_CGI_BIN>
                 ScriptAlias /cgi-bin/ /usr/lib/cgi-bin/
                 <Directory "/usr/lib/cgi-bin">
                         AllowOverride None
                         Options +ExecCGI -MultiViews +SymLinksIfOwnerMatch
                         Require all granted
                 </Directory>
                 ScriptAlias /smokeping/smokeping.cgi 
/usr/lib/cgi-bin/smokeping.cgi
                         Alias /smokeping /usr/share/smokeping/www
                 <Directory "/usr/share/smokeping/www">
                         Options FollowSymLinks
                 </Directory>

         </IfDefine>
</IfModule>

The clue was in the apache2 access.log  file where there were 404's,  
the access.log should look like this (200, not 404):

192.168.11.81 - - [03/Jul/2014:07:58:50 -0400] "GET
