I was quite successful with mod_fcgi (for my needs), have you considered that?
I can send you httpd.conf samples if you like.

do you need e-mails to be sent when someone commits to your server?
It should be possible to get https://launchpad.net/bzr-email/
to be able to send mails on tip changes.
(or make a plugin which does what you want, with proper unit tests of coarse)
If it works nicely it can be proposed to be included in the core.
