Yes, but also to the libhttpd.

You can take a look at current development at j-t-c/ajp and http_wrap that
mimics the libhttpd functionality and enables console apps to behave like a
http server.

You will have to write your own implementation of the ap_xxx functions
(httpd_wrap).
Since almost all web servers tend to behave similar, using HTTP protocol you
will need to find a way to rewrite the apache API on top of your web server
API.
Exactly the same will be done if we eventually decide to make a IIS or any
other server support. We will expect that IIS behaves like Apache2 does, not
modifying libajp but rather writing httpd_iis_wrap.

This is the fundamental difference from JK/JK2 where we had our own web
server abstraction layer and API. Ajp will use only the Apache2 API and
nothing more.
Writing apache2 wrapper shouldn't be such a big deal, cause in any web
server you have headers, output and input stream, etc...
