I won't say that you can't because I can think of several ways of
doing it with various bits of apache trickery.

None of them are very straightforward - How much do you want to do
this?

I would start by getting MKDoc running normally and create the
/mkdoc/ document.

Then in the $SITE_DIR/httpd/http.conf file, for each VirtualHost,
change this line:

  Alias /               /path/to/mkdoc/cgi/mkdoc.cgi/

..so it looks like this:

  Alias /mkdoc/         /path/to/mkdoc/cgi/mkdoc.cgi/mkdoc/

This *should* persuade MKDoc to only serve requests for the /mkdoc/
path - Everything else such as / or /foo/ will be served by the
remainder of the VirtualHost configuration.

Warning, this is untested and there are probably a few snags I
haven't thought of.
