Mulus, If you really want to open up that can of worms, yes, you'll have to re-compile apache from source. If this is a box with an internet connection, that isn't behind a firewall, I would strongly suggest continuing to run apache as the apache user. If it's behind a firewall which blocks outside access to the box, then go ahead.
