If it isn't being done globally in the httpd.conf file, a simple

 find / -name .htaccess -print

should find all of the .htaccess files you need. This is run at the Unix shell, so you know (you'll need to run Terminal at the least).

The file .htaccess won't exist unless you have created it. For more information about .htaccess see Comprehensive guide to .htaccess and .htaccess (Wikipedia).
