I've never tried linking apr statically, but I see no reason why it 
shouldn't work. The only reason I could see it not working if the 
linker/loader mangles the symbols so that DSO modules can't use those. But 
you will need to dig into your loader docs for that.

I'd suggest the following plan: Get some mod_foo that works with Apache2 
and relies on APR and try to build it as DSO and use it (.e.g some module 
that comes with Apache2, mod_proxy, etc). Hopefully you will get the same 
problem when you try to load it. If so you can ask for help at the 
httpd-dev list. Why do I suggest to make things complicated? Because 
mentioning mod_perl on the httpd-dev list ensures that you question will 
be ignored.
