TraceEnable was added only very recently to 1.3 and in fact is not in
any released version.  Although it can be used to disable TRACE, its
main purpose is actually to enable extended TRACEing for debugging
purposes.  It will probably make it into 2.0 in the near future.

Obviously you're reading some garbage suggestion from a silly security
scanner, since apache httpd has no "TRACK" method.

Really, you are wasting your time with this.  For some reasonable
information see:
http://www.apacheweek.com/issues/03-01-24#news

But to directly answer your question, no there is no other method that
I know of to restrict TRACE in apache httpd.
