That is, if you want to route your PHP requests to Tomcat, then you don't need mod_php for apache. Essentially, these are competing SAPIs and you should pick the SAPI you want to use and build PHP for that one. To clarify, --with-servlet allows the PHP processor to run in a servlet container such as Tomcat similar to how mod_php allows you to run the PHP processor in Apache and how php4isapi allows you to run the PHP processor in IIS. I've seen some references in the press that the php servlet feature allows you to run servlets. That's a misconception which I'd like to correct. It simply IS a servlet that runs the PHP processor. If you want to take advatage of PHP's Java support, your best way to implement that would be using the Servlet feature since a Java app server will manage the JVM much better than PHP's Java feature would (it has to start up a JVM for each session).
