As long as you've really got a virtualhost set, and set the DocmentRoot for
that domain explicitly, is should have the right $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'].

Relevant settings:
NameVirtualHost *:80
<VirtualHost *:80>
DocumentRoot "/path/to/test/docroot"
ServerName test.localhost
</VirtualHost>

server.php:
<?php
echo $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'];
?>
Which correctly results in : /path/to/test/docroot
