Virtual hosting is more elegant, more flexible, and more powerful, but
the approach I use is a shell script that symlinks my doc root and cgi
directories to wherever the current working project is located.

Run the shell script with the project name as a parameter and apache
serves up docs from the project direcories.

Less stuff to mess with, methinks.....
