the configure script tries to test the presence of the device node
/dev/zero. as you are cross compiling it isn't the /dev/zero of your
build system what matters, but if the device node is present on the
root filesystem of your device. i think for this kind of check you have
to specify the option manually. with

./configure --host=arm-unknown-linux-gnu --prefix=/tmp/apache
ac_cv_file__dev_zero=yes

the error about /dev/zero doesn't show up anymore, but others of the
same kind

use grep to figure out the name of the option that triggers the
offending check. e.g.:

grep -H setpgrp configure srclib/apr/*

openembedded.org is an embedded meta-distribution with recipes to
build packages from source. it could be a valuable source of
information to figure out the options (or patches) you
need. unfortunatly the server of the project seems to be down at the
moment. meanwhile
http://trac.nslu2-linux.org/slugos/browser/releases/slugos-4.8-beta/openembedded/packages/apache2?rev=467
could be a starting point, though it's apache v2.2.3
