Hi Chris,
Firstly, a disclaimer: I'm not an expert so I might be behind the times
on what I'm about to tell you...

Regardless of the errors you reported, I believe changing the MPM is a
problem. Last time I tried Apache with the threaded worker MPM it worked
flawlessly. However PHP has issues because it isn't thread safe. The
only safe way to run the 2 together was to set the Apache MPM back to
the default (prefork). Taking my disclaimer into account, I possibly
just didn't figure out how to make the 2 play nice, so I'd welcome
info/pointers from others who have managed to get threaded apache and
PHP working together.
Assuming no one pipes up and explains how to work around the PHP
threading issues, I'd recommend rebuilding apache with the default MPM
(shouldn't require any make variables defined). Verify it works ok once
installed and then try get PHP working again.
I would also echo the recommendation of others to jump straight to
Apache 2.2(.8) if you're going to make a disruptive switch now anyways.
I have a personal step-by-step build guide for getting Apache 2.2 and
PHP5 working together if you're interested.
As to your reported errors, I can't really shed any light on them, sorry.
Cheers,
Lawrence
