As far as I know you can't.

..htaccess protects the directory that it is in plus all sub directories
within that directory.

Do you have access to the httpd.conf files? you maybe able to do
something like you want by placing you authentication within the
httpd.conf file

Example

<VirtualHost xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx>
DocumentRoot /path/to/your/document/root
ServerName servername.com
ServerAlias www.servername.com
ServerAdmin emailaddress@servername.com
<Directory "/path/to/directory/that/needs/protected">
AllowOverride AuthConfig
AuthType Basic
AuthName "My Secure Area"
AuthUserFile /path/to/.htpasswd
Require valid-user
</VirtualHost>

Good luck!
