Thanks Philip, I incorrectly thought that setting the DESTDIR would be 
enough.  Here are the complete revised installation steps for 
installing a static Apache/mod_perl 1.x as non-root (for archival 
purposes):

$ mkdir ~/perl5 ~/apache
$ cd perl-5.8.6
$ sh Configure -Umymalloc -des -Dprefix=~/perl5
$ make
$ make test
$ make install
$ export PERL5LIB=~/perl5/lib/5.8.6:~/perl5/lib/site_perl/5.8.6
$ cd ../mod_perl-1.29/
$ ~/perl5/bin/perl Makefile.PL \
        PREFIX=~/perl5 \
        APACHE_PREFIX=~/apache \
        APACHE_SRC=../apache_1.3.33/src \
        DO_HTTPD=1 \
        PREP_HTTPD=1 \
        EVERYTHING=1 \
        USE_APACI=1
$ make
$ make install
$ cd ../apache_1.3.33
$ ./configure --prefix=$HOME/apache \
        --with-layout=Apache \
        --disable-rule=EXPAT \
        --enable-module=rewrite \
        --activate-module=src/modules/perl/libperl.a \
        --disable-shared=perl
$ make
$ make install
$ cd ../Apache-Session-1.6
$ ~/perl5/bin/perl Makefile.PL PREFIX=~/perl5
$ make
$ make install
$ cd ../libapreq-1.33
$ ~/perl5/bin/perl Makefile.PL PREFIX=~/perl5
$ make
$ make install
