not exactly, but I thought you'd still might be interested.
I just did a rebuild of everything but I'm still using apache 1.3.23.
For the others, I used the latest versions: proj, gdal-cvs, mapserver-cvs, gd 
2.0.11, php 4.3.0., ming 0.2a (as ming-cvs gives errors when making the 
php_ming module which I also like to use).
I compiled both a php module to use for normal php applications, and a cgi 
which should be as clean as possible, to use with mapserver apps.
Mapserver was compiled with quite a bunch of options, including the php module 
which seems to work ok.
I've just started testing, simple things seem to work ok. 
I'm sorry I can't help you on the apache 2.0 things, but I hope this gives you 
some confidence about the rest :-)
If you like, I can send you my ./configure script options for 
mapserver/php/etc.
don't hesitate to ask more specific questions if you have them, I'll be glad 
to share my experiences ( it took me quite some trial&error time to get all 
config options right...).

Regards,
Vincent Schut.
