As Issac pointed out something similar can be done with <Perl> blocks at the 
cost of having mod_perl in core. Those are not evaluated evaluated 
per-request.

But based on mod_perl there is Apache2::Translation that does per-request 
configuration. It hooks uri translation, maptostorage and fixup to do the 
job. Again it needs a perl interpreter in core and hence doesn't work well 
with threaded MPMs. So I was going to reimplement it based on mod_wombat some 
time this year.

I just wanted to add these $0.02 to the discussion.
