1. give user apache the addusser priviledge (which is very unsecure),

execute shell_exe as root would.
2. create a root process like a cron job which will start at boot of your
server, then on your shell_exe pass your command to that process and have
that root process execute that command (bit more secure).
Or create a simple shell/perl/php/whatever wrapper for adduser, and
allow sudo for that wrapper by the web server user only.
For example, you could create a wrapper that only allows one
alphanumeric argument for the username, and another for the password.
The wrapper could use defaults like /home/webusers/<username>, and
/bin/false as the shell, etc, etc.
