I got the impression that Facebook does not use Apache for serving php pages since Hiphop runs programs in their own server (using libev, I think)? And FastCGI is really just an awkward reincarnation of HTTP. So perhaps the optimal situation is to have D interface with the web not through a plugin, but rather through an HTTP server class. If necessary, it can then sit behind an Apache proxy.
