I don't have access to my box right now to give the exact syntax but mod_usrdir docs at apache.org can tell you exactly how to set this up. Its pretty easy. probably couple of lines of code. This assuming you have access to the server to change httpd.conf file. If the files are in a subdir under the home dir then you can browse it by http://ip/~usr/dir. If you want http://ip/usr to go to http://ip/~usr/dir then mod_rewrite can help you there.
