You can compile modules to be included into apache dynamically, there is
no need to recompile the apache binary. The command line should look
something like:

gcc -shared -I/usr/include/apache-1.3 -I/usr/include/postgresql -o
mod_auth_pg95.so mod_auth_pg95.c -L/usr/lib/postgresql/lib -lpgsql 

You need apache-dev installed for this to work.

Then you put the mod_auth_pg95.so to /usr/lib/apache/1.3
And insert a line into httpd.conf:
LoadModule <module_name> /usr/lib/apache/1.3/mod_auth_pg95.so

You should check the exact module name from the module sources. It should
be something like pg95_auth_module.

And for LoadModule to work you need dynamic module loading enabled
(it is enabled by default:  AddModule mod_dlopen.c )
