I'm not familiar with static linking mod_perl, but if you build Apache
separately with the intention of running mod_perl as a DSO, you should
configure Apache --with-included-apr and place apr and apr-util in
its srclib directory.

Then you would build mod_perl,
$ env MAKE=gmake /path/to/bin/perl Makefile.PL \
MP_APXS=/path/to/bin/apxs MAKE=gmake MP_NO_THREADS=1

Happy hacking,
John
