Location is a bit more general; If you check the manual you can do:

...
Alias /google
Location http://www.google.com/
...

Though you have to add all the aliases you need.

i.e. PathInfo should be /trac/login? or do you get only '/' or?

Hm I have Instiki running with mathopd without any problems without needing
Apache's Location, see below:

Control {
  ScriptUser daemon
  Alias /
  Location /path/to/instiki-ar/public
  Specials {
       CGI { dispatch.cgi }
  }
  IndexNames { dispatch.cgi }
}

Though getting this to work on Apache wasn't that straight forward.
There's an fcgi script as well - didn't find the time to play with it.

best,
