How would one configure Apache so that anyone using IE would be met with

Considering the effects of compromised home computers running XP on the
'net, I would like to start a campaign to essentially "lock out" IE from
accessing websites.
Of course, one would still be able to use Windows, but have to use an
alternate browser such as Mozilla.
   

Do what the sites that allow only IE do.  Test the browser string and present 
a warning page to users of IE and the real page to everybody else.
 

Hey HeywireMac,

Google is your friend, a very *good* friend at that. Just look at what 
google gave me with one run of "blocking IE on Apache webserver":

Happy blocking, and, BTW, I like your thinking on this one.....
