Only if you execute PHP as a "CGI" with suExec. PHP as a Module is a part of Apache, and has its same User/Group. Apache 2.0 will (allegedly) allow mod_php to run as different user in different hosts. Not sure how to set up suExec, but suExec + PHP-CGI *can* be made to work and run PHP as any user you choose.
