No, you add a <Directory> config in httpd.conf or add to .htaccess a
line like
<Files ~.php>
  ForceType whatever/gets/you/to/php-5
</Files>

Other problems:

Getting 2 PHP modules to co-exist without tromping on each others'
symbols is, I think, the show-stopper...

It was possible to have PHP3 and PHP4 both as modules, I think, but
that was an anomoly?

You also would have to re-think what happens when a version is
requested that isn't installed at all...

You currently have it just run in the default version, I think, but is
that really useful?  If the code really NEEDS PHP 5, and the server
doesn't have 5, only 4, running the code that needs 5 is probably not
the right action...
