works fine for me with this test case:
<Location />
PerlInitHandler 'sub { shift->notes(dir_name => "/some/dir/name/") }'
require valid-user
AuthType basic
AuthName test
PerlAuthenHandler Apache::OK
PerlAuthzHandler 'sub { Apache::OK if shift->notes("dir_name") }'
</Location>
you'll only get prompted for user/pass if dir_name is not found in the
notes table, does it work for you?

as geoff explained, you can, but the value might stick for that child if
the SetVar was configured in httpd.conf. so you might want to reset it:
my $old_val = $r->dir_config->get('foo');
$r->register_cleanup(sub { shift->dir_config->set(foo => $old_val) });
$r->dir_config->set(foo => $new_val);
