I'm getting a lot of bogus requsts in the form of
"index.php?id=http://64.15.67.17/~babysona/logo.jpg?";, sometimes more than a
hundred a day per domain. The php script catches it, logs the request, sends
an email report and replies with "access denied", but it takes processing
which I'd rather not have php busy with. (The php script rejects anything
where id=something_not_numeric.) Is there a way for apache to catch these
requests before passing it to php? Is it more efficient for apache to handle
this than php?

Yes, in Apache turn off userdir access
In your httpd.conf file do this.
UserDir disabled
That way it will not process url that starts with a tildy ~...
That should take care of it. Apache should then only report a 404 error to
the error log for the given virtual host.
