PERFECT! I rebuilt Apache and mod_perl works perfectly without the urandom symlink hack. So if anyone else has the "server failed to start!" problem again, the answer is to build Apache with --with- devrandom=/dev/urandom (at least if they can live with the security compromises.)
Now documented at: http://perl.apache.org/docs/2.0/user/troubleshooting/troubleshooting.html#Server_Hanging_at_the_Startup
Thanks again Stas and everyone!
;)
