Running multiple apache's is precisely what I'm doing to solve this
problem. There is an MPM for apache2 which would allow you to set UID
per vhost but I believe it is in quite a state of disrepair and,
unfortunately, not actively developed. I set my svn apache to listen
only on the local interface, and some other port (like 8080 or what have
you) and then I use mod_proxy to reverse proxy from the web apache so I
don't have to pass around any port numbers to my users. It all works
out really well.
