You'd at least have to recompile the i18n.so and cce.so moduels for PHP 
5, which would take at least a small bit of knowledge of C. Additionally 
the class interface isn't fully compatible between the two. If you just 
want to provide PHP 5 to your users, it'd be a better idea to just 
install PHP 5 under the regular apache, there's no reason you'd need or 
want to modify the admserv.conf to add PHP 5 for that.

However, note that there are lots of PHP 4 applications that _will not_ 
run under PHP 5. I'd recommend searching google to find various peoples' 
explinations of how they've gotten the two running side-by-side.
