The install process doesn't overwrite your squid.conf, so you
might be looking at an old file. The squid.conf in the src
directory should have usage:

# TAG: http_port
# Usage: port
# hostname:port
# 1.2.3.4:port
#
# The socket addresses where Squid will listen for HTTP client
# requests. You may specify multiple socket addresses.
# There are three forms: port alone, hostname with port, and
# IP address with port. If you specify a hostname or IP
# address, then Squid binds the socket to that specific
# address. This replaces the old 'tcp_incoming_address'
# option. Most likely, you do not need to bind to a specific
# address, so you can use the port number alone.
