Well perchild was supposed to provide this functionality, but it's unmaintained and nonfunctional from what I understand. Even if it does work it has security problems. On top of that it's a threaded MPM, so it carries the same thread-safety issues that worker does for PHP.
There are some of us who are attempting to provide a working alternative. The MetuxMPM project can be considered a working implimentation of perchild, although still in development. It still uses the threaded model but doesn't suffer the same security issue.
I required a non-threaded solution, so I started my own MPM project, using prefork as a base but copying in a lot of code from metuxmpm. I call it "peruser". Right now it's a lot more clunky than metuxmpm. I'm also not a professional C or apache programmer, so if anyone out there wants to help I'd really appreciate it.
Neither of these projects is really well-suited for a small number of websites that do a lot of traffic. They're more aimed at shared hosting providers who want to provide better security than php's safe_mode.

how do I build a shakicam like I've seen on Battlestar Galactica and Lost? ;)
