Not sure it helps, but WSGIAccessScript might be able to be hijacked to do what OP required. One would ignore the hostname bit and just interrogate the environ to validate stuff and return True or False. Returning false will cause HTTP_FORBIDDEN to be returned. If True, flows through to subsequent handlers. You can't do a custom error page from it, but you could use ErrorDocument for forbidden error status to generate one.
As to further changes to mod_wsgi itself to support further hooking in Apache, that will almost certainly never happen. It has already got too messy as it is.
