mod_userdir probably checks if the user actually exists. You'll have 
to implement something equivalent with RewriteCond(s) like

RewriteCond %{DOCUMENT_ROOT}$1 -d

Adjust as needed to verify that the user (or his home directory)
actually exists. You could also run a cron job every night and check
if ~user/public_html exists and build a RewriteMap or use a script
as an external rewriting program for a RewriteMap.
