See: http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/env.html I believe you can actually use env variables (set outside apache) in the config files using a syntax like ${var}, although it is undocumented. You are better off pre-processing your config file with m4 or something similar or using a third-party module like mod_macro.
