No - you either build or your Apache from source or use rpms never mix
and match. If you build apache from source then you build PHP from
source. Its probably OK to build PHP from source with a packaged
apache.

This error is commonly caused by using the wrong version of apxs or if
your modules are much newer than your apache.

Read these:

If your still having difficulties, what does ldd report for the
module?
