First, this sounds like a messy way to do it... spinning up another
OS instance with the appropriate version of Apache you are after sounds
cleaner...
However...
As long as you keep your various Apache installs from stepping on each
other (where the binaries, logs, configs live, etc), you just need to
make sure they're binding to mutually exclusive IP/port pairs. The
"Listen" directive is likely what you're after here.
