To do what you want that new httpd server should at least be able to call up PHP via cli / whatever, and retrieve the output. It also needs to provide what's in php called $_GET and $_POST.
Assuming you got that covered, then yes, you could route the calls via ajax (i recommend jquery.com for that) to your non-php httpd, which then forwards it (and the results back). What i'd do if it HAD to be done this way, is pass a couple of extra variables in each call from javascript. It's best to route all the ajax calls to php to the same script on the non-php httpd, so you'd need at least the "relative path (from serverside defined absolute base-path for your php subsystem) to the script being called" (or even an MD5/SHA256 of this rel path, if you're on the paranoid side; you then inform (via an array) the non-php httpd about all the scripts that may be called from javascript, without giving up the scripts names to spies along the line) But tbh, whoever thought of changing the type of server used and thereby giving you this new problem, should have also thought of how to not-dump tons of existing code. Not to mention developer experience with a specific language. If this new httpd is so damn good at something that it has to be used, it still doesn't mean it has to be used for the entire system either. You might be giving it more work than it is comfortable with, that way. So depending on your backend size (in terms of number of machines used) & setup, you might even campaign to keep an apache in the picture and let it perform work on the database / file storage system..
