Can you tell me what you have tried so far?

It is possible to install Midgard when not root; however, you'll need
write permission to the place where apache installs its modules and
configuration files. All in all, being root is going to make it a lot
easier.

The libraries install in /usr/local/lib by default. The modules are stored
where the apache install tells them to, on RedHat this would be
/usr/lib/apache.

RPM will be easier but is pretty bland, feature-wise. The PHP module it
contains has only mysql and midgard enabled.
The source install gives you more options but configuring and installing
these will take a little more of your time than the RPM install.
