So I assumed (but have yet to try).

For the curious (mod_perl/apache on port 80, apache w/ php on 1080,
identical config files except for the port, php module, and these 3
lines in the port 80 version):

	RewriteEngine on
	RewriteRule ^/(.*\.php) http://www.teleologicinstitute.net:1080/$1 [P]
	ProxyPassReverse / http://www.teleologicinstitute.net:1080/

Bah.  That's terrible - but only from the server's point of view - the
users and developers have no idea... :)

SuSE's php4 doesn't want to load into their updated apache rpm, so I can't
comment on whether they've gotten mod_perl/php4 working together better
than I can.  The php3 module works fine, however, for those times that
I'd rather use on old piece of software that doesn't do what I need it to.
