Yes. Except that Django will see itself being mounted at the sub URL.
Since urls.py will not mention the sub URL, that isn't generally a
problem.
There are also a number of ways of configuring things so that the
Django application still appears to be mounted at the root of the site
but with a subset of URLs being forwarded through to it. This can be
explicitly dictated, or even done such that everything goes through to
Django except for where static files exist in DocumentRoot
corresponding to PHP and static files. Thus, in effect the file based
resources take precedence. Remove a static file resource and it will
automatically then push that URL through to Django with no change in
configuration.
Flexible configuration is one of Apache/mod_wsgi's strong points and
there are many things one can do that the majority wouldn't ever need.
