I don't know, but I have the same problem (running Panther as well).

If there is a way, I'm unaware of it.  The documentation says the 
installation in /opt/apache2 is "for experimental purposes."  Don't try 
to use it for mod_python though, because the apxs configuration is wrong 
and it won't compile properly.  (I did my own Apache 2 installation in 
/usr/local/apache2.)

I use mod_proxy on the front-end Apache 1.3 server to pass through 
mod_python requests to the back-end Apache 2.0 server.
